How to change qmake when upgrading to qt5 for pyqt5

I am trying to install Pyqt but I am having significant issues getting all the seperate installation processes to work in sync. I have looked online but I can't find anything to help in my specific situation.

So far I have downloaded and built Sip4.16.7. I saved the file to a random location on my directory and ran the configure file, it then installed the module in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages and seemed to work.

I then downloaded the latest version of Qt5.2 and installed it using the installer. The files are stored in /users/MyUsername/Qt

I then installed PyQt5.4.1 and tried to run the configure file but I obviously have an older version of qmake on my system as I get an error of Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v4.7.4. Use the --qmake flag to specify the correct version of qmake. This is confirmed by typing qmake -v in the terminal and I get the output of QMake version 2.01a Using Qt version 4.7.4 in /opt/anaconda1anaconda2anaconda3/lib. I have scoured the internet and I can't work out how to tell whether I have a new qmake for the Qt5.2 or If I have to make it. And I have no idea how to get set the right Qtmake directory for the new PyQt configure file.

I apologise for the very specific and confused question but I am totally lost at the moment. As an additional question When you download the PyQt and SIP files should they be saved in specific directories relative to each other?

To follow the entire discussion for how I answered this refer to https://forum.qt.io/topic/53035/installation-problems-with-pyqt-locating-old-version-of-qmake/37

There were 2 main problems:

1) The --qmake=/Users/MyUsername/Qt/5.4/ios/bin/qmake was directed to the iOS qmake which requires a subscription to apple developers program. using the --verbose option returned Check dependencies Code Sign error: No code signing identities found: No valid signing identities (i.e. certificate and private key pair) matching the team ID “(null)” were found. CodeSign error: code signing is required for product type 'Application' in SDK 'iOS 8.1'

The solution to this was to refer qmake to the clang-64 version to allow development on OS X not iOS.

2) I had saved the PyQt directory in my google drive and therefore there was a space in the file name. Therefore when I referred to the qmake in the clang-64 directory I got the error of ```clang: error: no such file or directory: Drive/Personal/Code/PyQT/PyQt-gpl-5.4.1 (when using --verbose) So I had to move the PyQT file to outside my google drive and rerun, and it worked fine.
