How to compile Lazarus

Install necessary Manjaro packages

sudo pacman -Syu make subversion qt5pas

Download Lazarus source

cd ~
mkdir fpc
cd fpc
svn co https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
cd lazarus
make LCL_PLATFORM=qt5

Download fpc-3.2.0.source.tar.gz from https://www.freepascal.org/down/source/sources.html and unpack the fpc src in some convenient folder (I used ~/fpc/fpc-3.2.0)

Run it

cd ~/fpc/lazarus
./startlazarus

Add Lazarus to your KDE start menu

touch ~/.local/share/applications/lazarus.desktop

Edit the file

kate ~/.local/share/applications/lazarus.desktop

Paste in this code
