PyQtBuilder and Python from source on Windows

[Patrick Stinson]

Maybe this is because sip is not handling the paths correctly?

Here is the first failing args to cl.exe. Note the paths returned from distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc() are correct but sip doesn’t separate them on the ‘;’ token, and then maybe also doesn’t use the correct os.sep?

cl -c -nologo -Zc:wchar_t -FS -Zc:strictStrings -O2 -MD -W3 -w44456 -w44457 -w44458 -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -DWIN32 -D_ENABLE_EXTENDED_ALIGNED_STORAGE -DWIN64 -DPy_LIMITED_API=0x03040000 -DNDEBUG -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -D_WINDLL -I. -I. -I.. -IC:/familydiagram/vendor/sysroot-dev/Python-3.7.8/include;C:/familydiagram/vendor/sysroot-dev/Python-3.7.8/PC -IC:\familydiagram\vendor\sysroot-dev\Qt-5.15.1\mkspecs\win32-msvc -Forelease\ @C:\Users\patrick\AppData\Local\Temp\nm1BE7.tmp
