Under VMWare you can setup "shared folders" between the host and the vm sessions. I believe VirtualBox also has that feature. I do this for all our projects and frameworks (tiOPF, fpGUI etc) and can't imagine that it wouldn't be possible with Lazarus. At the moment I don't share Lazarus source, but rather export the host one (svn export /temp/lazarus) so that the VM session has it's own copy. That way I can move the VM session between machines and still start up Lazarus. The other reason I use a exported version of Lazarus, is because SubVersion waists a lot of disk space (double copies of everything in the hidden .svn directories) and I try and limit the disk space in the VM sessions. (another reason to use Git instead).
