Just a binary distribution right? I did not see the sources in ports,
which would have to be patched to fix the lib naming errors.

I patched
packages/extra/gtk/gdk/gdk.pp
packages/extra/gtk/gdk/gdk.pp
packages/extra/gtk/glib/glib.pp
in the 2.0.2 source tree to reflect the proper lib names

I then port-installed graphics/gdk-pixbuf, which provided the last
missing lib (/usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.a)

Then Lazarus compiled and linked without error, and seems to run fine.

Are you saying that code produced by this Lazarus/FPC setup will not run
properly on older freebsd systems?

Seems to me that FPC-2.0.2 is broken as far as freebsd is concerned. It
can't be just lazarus which needs those libs properly defined; so what
we have here is essentially a bug fix to FPC itself.

I don't understand, why not just fix the missing "-" in the IFDEF
FreeBSD statement, and produce a working FPC?
