I use Linux Ubuntu 9.04 and the extension of programs it created with
it had an EXE extension. How can I make it to have SH extensions? What
am I doing wrong? Thanks.

.sh files are bash script executables, not binary executables. In
other words, .sh files are to POSIX (such as GNU/Linux) the same as
.bat are to DOS and .cmd are to Windows. You can't create .sh files
compiling a program (actually you can but it isn't recommendable
because any POSIX user/administrator expects that a .sh file is a
script file not a binary file).

On the other hand, POSIX operating systems executables do not need the
".exe" extension. Actually it's not recommendable (except for some
purposes). If you need to name a binary executable with an extension
the recommended one is ".bin" (from binary).

I use Kubuntu 9.04 and my executables have no extension at all by
default.
What do you have in Project->Project Options...->TAB Application,
Output Settings, Target Filename:   ?

the binary files in linux has no extension; you can see, for example,
the folder:

/usr/bin

and you obtenin that binaries compiling your project in Linux

Quotethe extension of programs it created with it had an EXE
extension.And what's the early bytes of the file (use any editor that
can view binary files)? If it's ELF, then something is wrong. If MZ,
hmm... are you running the native Lazarus for Linux or Lazarus for
Windows via wine?
