Installing a package like PyQt from source is not a trivial task. It requires 
that the whole build tool chain has been configured properly:
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/installation.html#configuring-pyqt4
You can't expect WinPython Control Panel to configure this automatically for 
all packages available out there.

Installing from source will only work for:
  * pure-Python packages (which does not require building C/C++/Fortran extensions)
  * Python packages with C/C++/Fortran extensions *if* and only if you have the appropriate configured building environment (for some packages like Cython, simply having a C/C++ compiler will be enough)

However, the error message shown by WinPython Control Panel is clearly 
unappropriate (I'll have to take a look at that).

==> Please use a binary package for PyQt
