OK, I see...
Meanwhile I have installed 2.0.2 as you suggested with the
cross-compiler and used OPM to get Indy installed and then manually
installed the PasLibVlc package.
Next I opened the old project and built the two targets WIn 32 and 64
and it all went well!

So I will start uninstalling the old versions now (freeing up 6+ GB of
disk), and I also found Lazarus 1.4 in my disk...
