[fpc-pascal] Re: Handling with sources and exebutables with different names

[luciano de souza]

Actually, there are no errors.

Using cmd.exe on Windows 7 and FPC 2.6.0, I did:

fpc test.pas -oindex.cgi

I got test.exe and no errors are raised.

We can do -d in the commandline or {$ifdef ..} in the source code.
Several other options are available from the two modes. Is there a
directive, placeable in code, allowing me to define a name for the
executable?

I am asking to myself: "Did I become crazy? Have I done the test
wrongly?" Yes, it can be. However, I did it several times with the
same result. I don't know what, but something misleading is wrong.
