[PyQt] PyQt5.9 on Raspberry Pi

[Jens Carroll]

Hi All,

I am having a hard time to compile PyQt5.9 natively on a Raspberry Pi 3
(newest Raspbian). Qt5.9.2 compiles fine on it and as far as I can say
the provided examples work as supposed. On PyQt5.9 doing a

python3 configure.py runs as well
and a make works for the QtCore module.

Trouble starts with the QtGui module:

in qpy/QtGui/qpyopengl_api.h line 69 I changed:
#if defined(SIP_FEATURE_PyQt_Desktop_OpenGL_)
to overcome a undefined GLdouble (in the hope not getting in trouble
while linking at a later state).

This helped and it compiles further up to (and here I am stuck!):

In case you are interested in my qt5.9.2 config.summary check out:

I really would love to have PyQt5.9 running on my Pi3. Otherwise I need
to reimplement my not so small PyQt app into C++.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
