I'm new to the Qt designer and I need to make a project which includes a speedometer, luckily I was able to find a plugin on the internet for a speedometer but the problem is I don't know how to install it to the Qt designer and to be added to my widget. I tried to search on the internet and all I found is how to install plugins in Qt creator. Please note that I use the combination of Qt designer, Cmake and visual studio 2010 (not Qt visual studio Addin) to build my project.

Here is the link for the plugin I want to install: https://github.com/efesler/Qt-Speedometer-Widget

In ubuntu, do something like, download:

git clone https://github.com/efesler/Qt-Speedometer-Widget.git

then, you go into your downloaded folder and run qmake Speedometer.pro, then make and finally sudo make install and it is automatically added to Designer as a widget to be used in your form. However, in windows, I have no idea on how to make it appear as a widget in the designer. In any case, you can just add the code to your own project and compile it in your cmake and not with the provided .pro file. If you do so, you can use the Promote widget... option to add a generic widget to your form and make it be the speedometer that you downloaded.
