Maya 2017: QMake does not create correct makefile / makefile does not compile

Hello,

 

I've been following the standard tutorial for building QT plugins and I can't pass step 7 of "building the plugin."

When I run qmake, instead of creating 'helixQtCmd.mak' I get 'Makefile', 'Makefile.debug' and 'Makefile.release'

 

If I try to run nmake on this makefile from a normal command prompt (Windows 10) nmake is not specified, but on both VS2013 and VS2015 developer prompts I get an error code 0x0...135 which I think means it doesn't find the compiler.

 

So my questions are:

1. is it fine that the makefile is different?

2. what is the compiler I need and how do I get it?

 

thanks!
