Ah yes, you are right. That is one of the Lazarus IDE drawbacks. Project 
Options are NOT passed down to Lazarus Packages. So you have to 
duplicate your Project Options in each Package you use for that project. 
Apparently there is some Macro trickery you can apply, but all Packages 
must be modified for this to start working. I once tried this and gave 
up on it, as it seemed overly complex and felt more like a kludge than a 
solution.

This is where I like MSEide more. The Project Options is the ONLY 
options. In terms of MSEide, this means your unit output directory 
contains a lot more units (everything your project uses), but with the 
simplicity of compiler/project options being one set of settings. Most 
developer machines have ample hard drive space anyway, so the large unit 
output directory is not an issue at all.
