Hi,

since PyQGIS is just an optional part of QGIS, it´s not considered to
be an error when python dependencies are not found - the rest of the
sources can be built without any problems.

Yes, with cmake you get the same messages. SIP and PyQt4 detection
tries to import the appropriate python modules. What happens when you
run python and type:
import sip
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

If you have already installed SIP and PyQt4, make sure that it's
installed to correct version of Python (different versions of Python
do not share additional modules).
