My guess is that particular example has not been tested in a unix env.

Note we have a \i386 as part of the file name it wants to create.

Try and find where it comes from and replace the '\' with PathDeliminator

Thank you, Davo.

Output path in project options included left slash '\'. I changed it to right slash '/'.

Rather than replacing an OS-depending incorrect path delimiter with an equally incorrect delimiter for other OS you should simply either:
  • build the file-name by using: 'ADirectory' + PathDelimiter + 'AnotherDir' + [...etc...]
  • use the name as-is but passing it first through SysUtils.SetDirSeparators() or LazFileUtils.ForcePathDelims() or alike.
That way you'll have a correct filename no matter for which OS you compile the demo.
