Hi,

I've built a thread which host an IdTCPServer and handles my protocol
.
Started in a console app : No problem, the thread is ok and running as
intended.

Next I want to use this class in a Daemon using LazDaemon.
But, when the thread initialize it locks on the  idTCPServer.Active :=
True;
I can't get deeper in the code as i can't get my debugger working when
running a daemon :/

Perhaps you can adapt the approach in

BTW what is your OS, Lazarus version

ok. I found the reason : WriteLn used for debugging.
If i drop these lines, the service runs nicely.

I would like to understand why indeed. A multithreading problem ?

Oops, sorry

On Windows, I wouldn't think a service has a console so writelns would
fail. On Linux, IIRC, daemons *can* write to stdout... but
perhaps/probably I'm wrong...
