This is not a valid reason, because if set the Target file name in the project
options to 'test', it will create a test.exe on windows.
Strangely I never knew that! Thanks. :)
Ok, so that solves half of the issue... I still think it is weird and
confusing that 'Unit output directory (-FU)' = units gives a different
result compared to the exact same compiler switch -FUunits in the
'Other' tab.
Maybe the (-FU) hint in the label should be removed from the Paths tab
so that it doesn't mislead you into thinking that it works the same as
the -FU switch.
To me 'Unit' mean the *.pas file and not the project executabe. I
guess I'm the only one that thinks like that. FPC's command line help
clearly says: -FE<x> set exe/unit output path to <x>
There is a difference between exe and unit.
