Thanks. The installed `SIP=6.6.2` package doesn't contain the `sip.h` 
header per se. It does contain two "sip.h.in" files that look like they 
could be converted into `sip.h`. I'm unfortunately not able to find any 
documentation that explains that process.

What do I have to do to generate a usable "sip.h" file, and what include 
path should I use (or how should I compute it) when compiling my own C++ 
code to be able to include that ?

(I'm upgrading from an old version 4.19.23 and there the directory 
layout and build logic was very different.)


Thanks,

Stefan
