[PySide] Latest git download will not compile

[Doug Hutcheson]

Thanks Alexandru.
For the benefit of the group, I will repeat an explanation of my goal I
sent directly to Alexandru by mistake, instead of to the list.
I am aiming to build a Linux (Fedora 29) PyQt5 interface to PyQt5RPT,
using the shiboken2 generator. This will no doubt be a long and painful
learning process, but I am willing to try.    "8-)
Regards,Doug
