You need the *.o, *.ppu (and maybe also *.rst files) and also eventual 
*.lfm files. You need to copy them to a directory and then add a search 
path to that directory.

Better yet: make use of Lazarus packages. That's what they are there for 
(and no, you don't need to install them in the IDE for this). For more 
information see here: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Packages
