This sounds like a blast from the past.

Yes, Lazarus has been able to build GTK applications for quite a while
now, as well as Qt and Windows applications.
GTK2 is the default widgetset for Lazarus on Linux; GTK3 support
probably is more experimental.

I'd suggest simply installing it and trying it.

About building GUI applications without Lazarus: Graeme, this is your
cue! Try looking into fpgUI, MSEIDE+MSEGUI.
Presumably you could handcode pascal using the bindings to create forms
etc as well but why you would want to do that escapes me.

Good luck.
