Historical reason:
Once upon a time FPC had the -FU = -FE bug.
When this had been fixed it was discussed, how lazarus should
handle the 'unit output directory'. The decision was: unit +
executable, which is backwards compatible and supports cross
compilation. The user could use the project options to set the
executable.
Of course, Graeme is right: The label text is not sufficient.
Mentioning the -FU is correct.
But it should also be mentioned, that this option effects the default
location of the project executable.
About platforms:
- windows: projectname.exe, OS-location: various/never mind
- linux+bsd: projectname, OS-location: various/never mind
- MacOSX: projectname: OS-location: app bundle
So, how should it be fixed? Label or path?
