Use qmake ;-)

I could send you the generated Makefile for my plugin library, even
though it uses a QWidgetCollectionPlugin to have multiple plugins
available from one lib it should show you the way. AFAIK all you have
to do is link all your object files into a shared library and put that
thing somewhere where designer finds it (Normally this is
QTDIR/plugins/designer, but you can set QT_PLUGIN_PATH to any directory
with a "designer"-subdir)
