Simply load Lazarus with a blank Lazarus project. Then open the main
unit (program) of your fpc project using 'File | Open'...  Lazarus
will detect it's a 'program' and ask if it can manage it. Say yes.
Lazarus would now have created a new .lpi file for your fpc program.
Save the project and you are ready to go.

No idea what's the difference. All I know is that "program" is a Free
Pascal program and Lazarus maintains the .lpi (Lazarus Project
Information) file for that program.
