Installing pyqt5 with MinGW and sip. Where is the “make” command?

Question

I want to use pyqt5 with python. I have found instructions
Using sip-4.17/sip-4.17/doc/html/installation.html#downloading. I have installed MinGW. The instructions for build read: "Building The next step is to build SIP by running your platform's make command. For example: make The final step is to install SIP by running the following command:

make install (Depending on your system you may require root or administrator privileges.)

This will install the various SIP components."

I am a complete newbie at this particular thing. I don't see "make" as a file in the MinGW directory. Should I use bin/mingw32-make.exe with no object listed? What about make install?

Answer 1

make is in the msys subdirectory. msys should be a subdir of MinGW. If not you need to install MSYS . This post might help.
