I'm trying to install PyQt4 so I can mess around with it. The installation guide said I had to install Sip. The last step to installing Sip is to use the make install command. Windows doesn't have that, so I looked it up and everything I saw said to install Cygwin. So I did. But...sip is in C:\Python31\sip.

Can I run this from the Cygwin command? If so, how would I do that?

Or can I run this from the normal windows command prompt? If so, how would I go about that?
