[Lazarus] How would you organize build directories for different versions?

[Bart]

I read the wiki article but I'm a little puzzled.

I can define build modes (Debug/Release) with different
compiler/linker options, and this seems to work. It just builds my
project with the altered settings, and leaves the packages as is.

However I have to repeat these steps for every project I have or make.

I would however like to have these two nuild modes available in every project.

What I gather from the wiki article is that if I make build macro's
the all the options I have in them will be passed to all packages and
all packages are re-build with that option as well?

To make clear what I want:
In all projects I have available a Debug and Release mode, these modes
are the same for all projects I make/open.
The options I set in these modes do not force installed packages to be
re-build with my options (-gl -gh etc).

Is such a thing even possible (and is fo, how)?
