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).
