I use Lazarus as my IDE, but don't create LCL (Lazarus Component Library) based applications with it. Also the LCL-fpGUI widget set is still in alpha stage of development, so you can't use that either - you need to use fpGUI directly. In Lazarus, you create a Free Pascal application. The Project Inspector should show no required packages (if you see LCL, you choose the wrong project type). Get the source of fpGUI (SubVersion repository is on SourceForge.net). Then open the fpgfx_package.lpk in the src/corelib/x11 directory and compile. Then open the fpgui_package.lpk and the src/gui directory and compile. Now add fpgui_package.lpk as required package to you open project in Lazarus's Project Inspector. In the fpgui/trunk/extras/code_templates/ directory, there is code templates to get a fpGUI project started. To visually design your forms, you need to compile the <fpgui>/examples/apps/uidesigner/ project. You can't use the Lazarus built-in form designer as it's LCL specific. For more details or support, you can join the fpGUI support newsgroup. See the website below for details (the server seems down at the moment, but in 8 hours I'll be able to reboot the server and get it up and running again).
