Struggling to build SIP for PyQt4


Basically, trying to build SIP so that I can install PyQt4. I manage to use python configure.py That is completely fine - I get the sipconfig.py file.

Problem comes when I try to build. It won't recognise make. I've tried to get Visual Studio to do it - but that just made me really confused. Any suggestions would be really good - I've tried other solutions and nothing seems to work.

So yeah, any help would be great!


Solution

  • You need to install MinGW , and then set your path to include mnGW and use: mingw32-make and mingw32-make install
