Compiler Option: -o

Set object file path/name

Syntax
   -o < output file >

Parameters
   output file
      The name, with optional path, of the object file to create.

Description
   The -o option can be used to specify the file name for the object file 
   created while compiling an input file. By default, the name for the 
   object file (and other temporaries like assembly files) is based on the 
   name of the corresponding input file, but with an .o extension. This 
   option is useful for example in combination with -c, or to force the 
   compiler to create temporary object files in other directories (if, for 
   example, the source code directory is or should be treated as 
   read-only).

   Given -o options are only assigned to input files that need to be 
   compiled, namely *.bas, *.rc, *.res and *.xpm.

   Note: -o options can appear in front of or behind the input file they 
   correspond to, but there cannot be multiple -o options for one input 
   file. For example, these are all accepted:
      fbc 1.bas -o 1.o
      fbc -o 1.o 1.bas
      fbc 1.bas -o 1.o 2.bas -o 2.o
      fbc 1.bas -o 1.o -o 2.o 2.bas
   However, this is an error:
      fbc 1.bas 2.bas -o 1.o -o 2.o

   The -v option makes the compiler show the actual file names that it 
   uses.
