Building PyQt to work with Qt5

Question

When building/installing PyQt (from source or using pip), how do I specify the path to the local Qt5 installation?

I built Qt5 from source (qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2.tar.gz) with the following command:

wget http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.0/5.0.2/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2.tar.gz

cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.2
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -nomake tests
make -j 4

If I then cd into qtbase I see:

bin/
dist/
doc/
examples/
imports/
include/
lib/
etc ...

Looking at the PyQt4 installation instructions I could not find a flag or an option to specify the location of the Qt installation.

Is there a way to tell PyQt4 where to find Qt5?

Note: I do not have root privileges, and need to install this locally.

Answer 1

Configure PyQt4:

python configure.py --qmake <path to your qt5 qmake>
