Lazarus (or better Linux) doesn't know about resources, so you can't use 
them in the way Delphi/win32 does. However Lazarus uses a method pretty 
compatible with this.

1) You need a textual DFM
     D4: created by copy/paste from ALT-F12
     D5: Native

2) Create a lrc file with lazres (in lazarus/tools)
     lazres yourform.lrc yourform.dfm

3) Add the following lines to yourform.pp
     initialization
       {$I yourform.lrc}


Please keep in mind that not all properties in the dfm are supported yet by 
lazarus, so you might get a crash.
