Hi, I just spotted the brook framework and tried to install as per
here:

http://brookframework.org/get-started.html

I opened the package brookex.lpk and tried to compile/install and get
this error:

brook\brokers\brookfclcgibroker.pas(57,15) Error: There is no method
in an ancestor class to be overridden:
"TBrookCGIRequest.DeleteTempUploadedFiles;"


I'm using lazarus 1.0.4 fpc 2.6.0 Windows XP,

Thanks in advance

Read system requirements part in the readme, Brook requires FPC 2.6.1
or newer

I couldn't compile it with fpc 2.6.2 neither....

QuoteI couldn't compile it with fpc 2.6.2 neither....   Probably it
needs to be made clearer. I don't know which 2.6.1 revision that
works, probably at that time 2.6.2 was already tagged, so fixes and
additions to 2.6.1 don't get into 2.6.2. I suggest using trunk
version, either 2.6.3 (since 2.6.2 is already out) or 2.7.1.

with 2.7.1, it compiles successfully.

Thanks for letting me know, I was trying 2.6.2 but also failed, will
go for 2.7.1 when I get a chance

You could also try the fixes_2.6 branch (the old 2.6.1)
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/branches/fixes_2_6
I suppose the daily Lazarus snapshots that mention 2.6.1 are built
with this.

This contains fixes/updates over stable 2.6.2 while 2.7.1
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk/
is the bleeding edge development version (that's improved a lot
though, it seems fairly stable).
