This thread very succinctly showcases the difference between someone who is _not_ helpful and someone who is. :D

And shows, that some OP never try to search in the internet/wiki. Sorry but RTFM is helpful. This implies to make a research first and after the research make a question. This is the difference.
"How to convert a Delphi package to FPC?" is the same question like "who can write my homework".
The only answer is RTFM with the starting point https://wiki.freepascal.org/Delphi_Converter_in_Lazarus and this is only combining Thaddys and Handokos answeres. And this are the expected basics for a question from the OP.
@jonnybravo:
After the RTFM, try to identify the external components you are using, you must find out if the used components are available in Lazarus or not. If not you can search for compatible componnets or to avoid such components. Eg. if you are using connections to da database, one of good tires is, first switch to zeos on Delphi, because zeos can work with delphi and fpc/lazarus.
There are a lot of showstopers for a convert. A lot of popular (sometime paid) components of delphi have no direct components in fpc/lazarus. So you have to test a avoiding or changing to similar componnets in fpc/lazarus. But this can be hard or a no go.
