[PyQt] PyQtDeploy Sysroot issues

[Kevin Kelly]

I decided to try out PyQtDeploy v2.1 this weekend and I have spent most of the weekend stuck trying to get past buiding the sysroot.  Below I am going to give you the error I have come across but ultimately I was hoping someone out there may have some tips or help on what is needed for the initial setup to get these builds done right.

I have read the PyQtDeploy documentation several times through.  All I have tried to do is build the Demo program, so nothing new or over the top.  Because I had no interest in it, I did modify the sysroot.json file to have only the qt5, python, sip and pyqt5 options in there.  I have attached that file.  I have Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 installed.  I downloaded the PyQt source, Python source, SIP source and opted to use the Qt installation that was in place. After I run the build-demo.py I get this error:

Maybe you forgot to setup the environment?

I researched and the best I could come up with is that I don't have a compiler installed but like I mentioned I have VS 2015 and 2017 and VC directories in both with the nmake and other files for the compiler as best I can tell.

My feeling is that I am missing something with how I setup my environment before I get started to make this work.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin Kelly
