[Developers] Re: compiling opendtect on windows

[Nanne Hemstra]

Dear Sami,

To let our make system know where to find the Qt and Coin header files 
and libraries, two environment variables have to be set before you start 
compiling,  Those are OD_QTDIR and OD_COINDIR respectively.
It's indeed also possible to set it in 'make.od.Dirs', but note that the 
variables mentioned above will overrule the path in 'make.od.Dirs'.
 
To check if you've set these paths correctly, type 'make -n' in uiBase 
(Qt check) or in SoOD (Coin check) to see the full g++ command.

If you still get errors, please open the file 'lswin' for a more 
detailed description of the error.

Regards,
Nanne
