Thanks for the quick reply Henry.

That's correct - or at least that is how I understood it as well. But I 
did not know fpc creates that file.

So is this not maybe an FPC issue then? Why doesn't FPC clean-up after 
itself, or ask the OS for the temp dir location and use that instead?

Alternatively (but I don't think this is the right way to go), Lazarus 
could detect the Quick Compile command and delete the ppas.sh file 
afterwards. The file always seems to be created in the default output 
directory of the binary file.

But as I mentioned, if FPC is the one creating the file, surely it 
should be responsible for clean up afterwards.
