Compiling on windows

[Bithov Vinu]

I've cloned the mnemosyne repo, and added a stylesheet (for dark mode). However, I am unable to compile it (I'm on windows 10). I opened a admin cmd and tried running setup.py, to no avail. The development instructions linked on the README are out of date (not my claim, it says on the site). How would I compile my modified source?

I ran

> make windows-installer

from cygwin, but I got the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./pyuic5", line 15, in <module>
    from PyQt5 import QtCore
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyQt5'
make[2]: *** [makefile:28: ui_main_wdgt.py] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/wingit/mnemosyne/mnemosyne/pyqt_ui'
make[1]: *** [makefile:43: build-all-deps] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/wingit/mnemosyne'
make: *** [makefile:93: windows-installer] Error 2

Inspecting the file in question, ui_main_wdgt.py, it is empty and doesn't show in the github repo. PyQt5 is most definitely installed, so is QtWebEngine.

You might want to edit the PYTHON3 environment variable in the
makefile to make sure that the python that is being picked up by the
makefile is the same python as where you installed these packages to.
I personally install everything in the Windows python version (not
Cygwin's python).
