How to break exe into multiple obj file ,dll,bpl file in Lazarus

I am afraid that I do not fully understand the question.

Every unit is already automatically compiled into its own object and linked together by the compiler/linker.

A dll needs to be crafted manually, see https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progse55.html

bpl's do not have a fpc/lazarus counterpart.

An executable cannot be broken into obj, dll or bpl files.

Obj files are gathered together by the linker to create the exe (or dll or bpl or some other extension.)

HTH.

You can't simply break up an EXE.  You need to create a whole separate DLL or BPL project and move the desired units to it, then compile it.  Then change the EXE project to use that DLL or BPL, and recompile it.

Hi
As Dirty Harry said: "Do you feel lucky?", "...Well, do you P###"?!?
If you do then have a 'looksee' here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/rd-dpf/
DPF ~ (D)elphi(P)lugin(F)ramework, translated to FreePascal it works too 
Have fun

To add to what everybody else has said, let's see we can explain this in terms that almost anyperson should be able to understand.

You can dismantle a car into engine, wheels, transmission, sundry fasteners and a pile of light scrap.

You can't dismantle a car into a motorcycle, even though it might be possible to re-use some of a car's fasteners etc. to make one.

You can't dismantle a car into a helicopter, and a car lacks even the basic raw materials to make some parts (e.g. light alloys or composites for the rotors).

You might possibly be able to dismantle a .exe into .obj files, but it would take specialist tools and would rely on the presence of debugging information. However the files you ended up with might be /strictly/ correct as far as formats etc. go, but would bear little resemblance to what the original programmer had.

You can't dismantle a .exe into a .dll or .bpl, although it might be possible to reuse some of a .exe's components (.obj files etc.) to construct one (which might in practice be very little use for anything).

Over the decades, I have been asked /repeatedly/ for a decompiler. In some cases by people who actually appeared to have some minimal understanding of the development process.

Dear all,

When I was working in delphi my exe is working like a video player . it is loading all form at run time from bpl files .

in lazarus it is bundling everything in to  single exe .

what is my expectation is like it should be browser and it should show page on screen. if there is any change in small module . I can able to release one module only

Yes, that is not possible yet. Some work has been done, but it is still long ways, specially multiplatform.
