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
When used with the `-c` option, the `-o` option specifies a name to give to the object file resulting in compiling the source file immediately preceding it. By default, the object file has the same name as the source file, but with a .o extension. This option is useful for saving object files in other directories.
To compile the source files file1.bas and file2.bas into the object files file1.o and apple.o, type,
`fbc -c file1.bas file2.bas -o apple.o`
Note that the `-o` option only has an effect when used with the `-c` option (compile only), as object files are not saved otherwise.
