Sorry for this basic question but have ?loaded up Lazarus and can build and run under IDE. What is the file extension of the app (or Mac equivalent of the exe)? ?I have looked through the Wiki but could not find the answer (or overlooked it more likely). Thanks,

just like in most unix systems, Mac OS X executables have no extension. i.e. "project1.exe" is win executable, but in mac it would be "project1"
But in OSX, GUI applications are presented as application bundles. Application Bundles are structure of directories and files treated by system GUI tools (i.e. Finder) as a single File.
You can read more about it here:

Zitat von John Coarsey :
There is no equivalent on Mac.
Programs can have any name.
But most applications use the 'Application bundle' - a special folder with the extension '.app' and some special files. One of the files is the program and the Finder shows such folders as programs. The IDE creates the application bundle automatically for you.
