    Default How to compile a plugin for custom widget?

    Hi everybody.
    I 'm trying to follow this tutorial for creating a custom widget (which, from what I understand, is wrapped by a pugin for the Qt Designer to be able to 'see' it).
    My files are at:
    C:\Documents\QtProjects\mycustomwidget:
    --customwidgetplugin.pro
    --analogclock.h
    --analogclock.cpp
    --customwidgetplugin.h
    --customwidgetplugin.cpp

    I open a console:
    cd C:\Documents\QtProjects\mycustomwidget
    qmake

    And so a file named MakeFile is created. It has, at the top: Command: C:\Qt\5.8\mingw53_32\bin\qmake.exe -o Makefile customwidgetplugin.pro
    I give this command in console, seems like it's doing something, and shows the message: Info: creating stash file C:\Documents\QtProjects\mycustomwidget.qmake.stash

    I open Qt Designer and no new widget is added in it...

    Isn't the procedure I follow the correct one?

    After running qmake you have to run make.

    qmake generates the build files, in this case a Makefile, another tool, in this case make, processes that to actually build the software.

    Cheers,
