Hello John
Lazarus uses symbol link to maintain MacOSX bundle.
The project layout is the following:
project (executable binary)
project.app (the bundle)
project.app/Content/MacOS/project (symbolic link to project binary
outside the bundle)
When you copy the bundle via Finder, the symbolic link
I.e., prior to any distribution of the bundle, be sure to do something like
this:
rm myapp.app/contents/macos/myappexec
cp -p myappexec myapp.app/contents/macos
The executable is created back in the main project folder with a symlink
pointing to it from within the .app bundle to simplify

And I would've thought that this was obvious. There are just some

Well the understanding of cross platform is quite varying. The base
obviously is that one source code can be executed on all of the
supported platforms.
In my understanding, there are 3 kinds of cross platform implementation:
