I find makefiles with all the variables, rules and whatnot far easier to

I only can interpret the final commandlines, generated from makefiles
after macro substitution. From there it's a puzzle to find out what
deserves an adjustment, in order to yield the intended result.
Some packages do not support overriding the output directory.
Huh ? These packages are not very well designed then. A package should
always be oblivious to the output dir.
This again indicates to me that it is overly complicated to understand
the rules, and to provide proper/conforming configurations.
If it is not, it should IMHO be discarded from the lazarus installation.
Why not simply fix the packages?
Another possibility is to add a wizard to quickly setup some common
options. Similar to the initial setup dialog.
In view of the "Some packages do not support overriding the output
directory."
you mentioned earlier, I somehow doubt this is a workable idea ?
Just that problem (and all others) should be fixable by such a tool.
