[PyQt] Error Building PyQt5 from Source

[James Ross-Smith]

G'day,

I'm compiled Qt 5.9.0 on my Raspberry Pi, as I required an EGLFS
environment for displaying graphics without the X window. Upon (seemingly)
successfully compiling and installing Qt 5.9.0, I've then compiled and
installed Python 3.6.2 also from source. Following Python, I compiled and
installed SIP.

I've downloaded, unpacked and attempted to install PyQt5, but am running
into errors. I've used the --qmake and --sip flags in the ./configure
command to point to the required executables, which appears to have worked.
I receive the following strange line when checking whether or not to build
QtGui:

Checking to see if the QtGui module should be built...
Disabled QtGui features: P, y, Q, t, _, D, e, s, k, t, o, p, _, O, p, e, n,
G, L

The build continues, but throws the following final lines in the 'make'
command:

When I then run the 'make install' command I receive the following errors:

                 from sipQtGuiQAbstractOpenGLFunctions.cpp:24:

At this point I can start Python3.6 and import PyQt5 successfully (so far
as the interpreter doesn't raise any errors), as well as PyQt5.QtCore, but
none of the other modules (such as QtGui) seem to exist.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? This is my first attempt at
building packages from source and I'm a little unsure as to where to start
trying to resolve these issues.

Many thanks,

Jamie
