[Developers] Recompiling opendtect from sources

[Nanne Hemstra]

Dear Antonio (and all other developers),

Can you check whether you have a Makefile in $WORK/spec ? I suspect that 
there's only a Makefile.od. If so, please create a link to this 
Makefile.od and type make to create the binaries.

 > cd $WORK/spec
 > ln -s Makefile.od Makefile
 > make

This should be done automatically when creating a work environment. I'll 
check the scripts which handle that.

This file is located in $WORK/spec/EMAttrib and the executable is used 
for computing attributes on or between EarthModel objects like horizons.

Good point. We will add that information to next releases. Thanks!

Best regards,
