Yes, there are some difference. In general: Lazarus is only backwards compatible.

You can not share the config files in the IDE config directory between different platforms. Projects and Packages are made for sharing, the IDE configs are not. > First off, There were references added to my main form's *.lfm file - a > file that I know nothing about except it appears to be a serialized > version of classes ( a snapshot perhaps) of all the properties in my > form when I last saved it?

These are ok.

Without code no one can tell what is wrong. This could happen when mixing different lazarus/fpc version. > They were empty anyways.. In this case it might be right.
