  • The method I used to compile custom-made plugins in Windows was to load the OSGeo4W Shell program, type cd your_plugin_path, press enter and then type make. Hope it works for you too!

  • That message could mean that your plugin has already been compiled. Have you reloaded QGIS to see if your plugin has been updated or was QGIS closed when you edited your plugin (not sure if this makes any difference but I do this to be sure)?

    I had an issue after upgrading to QGIS 3.4. pb_tool would return "subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['C:\\Program Files\\QGIS 3.4\\apps\\Python37\\Scripts\\pyrcc5.BAT', '-o', 'resources.py', 'resources.qrc']' returned non-zero exit status 1. PS C:\Users\Cary\Documents\Programming\Python\QGIS\structuremanager>" I had to uninstall pyqt5 and reinstall. The problem was fixed.
