Like its always been done. Lazarus is NOT the only way to use FPC.
Define the Unit Path (source code path) or Compiled Unit Path (path to
*.ppu files) in your Editor or IDE of choice. Then compile your project
with FPC. You can also define all the compiler settings in a cfg file
and pass that to FPC instead (fpGUI Toolkit's demos use this). There are
many alternative ways.

I for one don't like the Lazarus Packages any more. I much prefer to
define my paths to used units, and include path macros to make it work
on multiple systems. MSEide and Maximus IDE does that. I believe you can
do the same with Lazarus IDE too. The advantage of this is that changing
a compiler parameter (new define, extra debug info or optimisation
setting etc) immediately applies to all units used in your project. With
Lazarus Packages that is a pain in the butt - having to manually modify
many *.lpk packages. But that is my personal opinion - others are
welcome to disagree.
