Build sip and pyqt Maya 2016 Windows?

[willockss]

I am trying to build pyqt in windows for maya 2016, and i tried based on autodesk pdf example, which it doesn't give much explanations.

I got stuck when is trying to build QtCore and i got this error message:

Unable to create c++ code ....

Any help will be appreciate.

Thank you

Maya 2016 comes with PySide included. Is there a particular reason you need to use PyQt instead?

I had fixed it. It was the "space" for the name of the folder where i had extracted pyqt from devkit. Now it works.

And since i understood correctly PySide it didn't had any improvments for quite some time now, so i want to move for PyQt

But thank you for reply,
