[PyQt] Error Building PyQt5 from Source

[James Ross-Smith]

Just a bit of an update on this issue.

I've managed to run a small test application using linuxfb with 'python3.6
App.py --platform linuxfb'. However, I receive an error when trying to use
eglfs ('python3.6 App.py --platform eglfs'):

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-pi'

Could not find DRM device!
Aborted

I ran an 'ldd' on the libqeglfs.so which didn't show any missing packages.

Am I missing environment variables somewhere here?

Many thanks,

Jamie
