Error when installing PyQt6 from source

[RedHuli]

UPDATE: So I solved the problem (after getting some rest).

I am now able to run sip-install using qmake from Qt 6. After the
running building, I am able to open the Python shell and import PyQt6.
However, none of the modules appeared to have been installed. When I run
help(PyQt6), it only shows the following:

Help on package PyQt6:


*NAME*

    PyQt6


*PACKAGE CONTENTS*

    sip


*FILE*

    (built-in)

Only sip has been built. Any ideas? Thank you for your help.
