Here is an example for using GTK2 directly:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/packages/gtk2/examples/helloworld/helloworld.pas?ref_type=heads

This page contains an example for X11:

https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/X11

And here are some examples for work with the WinAPI:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/Windows_API_examples

In the end nearly all relevant GUI toolkits to interact with are C-based
(with the exception of Qt which is C++ and for which a flattening library
is available), thus for those that don't want to work with Lazarus, they
should simply look at corresponding documentation of the GUI toolkits.

Sven
