fpGUI has a "demo app IDE" only. It's not an IDE, but whatever.

In fpGUI's README it has build instructions for IDEs and command line
(CLI) usage.

cd <fpgui>/src
./build.sh

That builds the whole GUI toolkit from the command line. Works on
Windows, MacOS, Linux and FreeBSD.

To build the demos or all GUI applications (Visual Forms Designer,
DocView etc). For example:

cd <fpgui>/docview/src
fpc @extrafpc.cfg docview.lpr

You've got to learn to read mate. ;-)
