Installing Brook to FPC - Cannot find CustFCGI

[Jabiru240]

This is a similar issue to (latest version of Brook controls, FPC 3.2 Fixes/Lazarus 2.0 Fixes, Mojave, Parallels VM):
Cannot install brookrt.lpk 1.9.9 on Lazarus 1.6 on Mac OS X

in that trying to build the IDE I get an error that says cannot find CustFCGI in unit BrookFCLFCGIBroker. The CustFCGI.pp file exists and in the IDE if I right click, it is found and displayed. I have posted to the lazarus forum here:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,44200.0.html

But no response. It is a blocker for me, any ideas what might be wrong?

From the Brook Framework Google+ site
https://plus.google.com/communities/101133820055678331036/s/custfcgi

Brook Framework requires CustFCGI, which is not available on Darwin.

"brookfclfcgibroker.pas(23,12) Fatal: Cannot find CustFCGI used by BrookFCLFCGIBroker of package BrookRT."

From http://wiki.freepascal.org/fcl-web:
"The fastcgi, custfcgi, and fpfcgi units are not supported on Darwin at this time, because it uses a different mechanism than the MSG_NOSIGNAL option for recv() to indicate that no SIGPIPE should be raised in case the connection breaks. See http://lists.apple.com/archives/macnetworkprog/2002/Dec/msg00091.html for how this should be fixed."

Looks like this hasn't been fixed since 2002!

And the workaround which I cannot confirm:
#3

I was going to close this, but I think @silvio should probably do that?

Before I answer, I will warn you that I do not work in MacOS with Lazarus IDE and that @silvioprog slightly later perhaps more correctly will write You.
If you have confirmed that there is no fastcgi implementation for MacOS yet, can you try other ways? At first I also made applications using fastcgi technology, but then I realized that server (http embedded server) solutions are easier and more convenient
Recheck your urls, its are almost all not valid. Adjust. On the forum, too

[Jabiru240]

@Al-Muhandis The URLs I used I simply copied and pasted from those that were displaying at the time? I have no idea why they do not resolve to the correct place. This, for example, is an Image of the URL I copied, I have placed the same URL below:

IMAGE

And all I did was copy and paste that into a URL in the response like this:

ACTUAL URL
#3

If that then is wrong, I don't know how to fix it sorry?

Now WRT your comments:

I'm not sure what you mean, I certainly don't want to change Silvio's code if I can avoid it and, if you are suggesting I use a different framework, sure that's an option, but this is about getting the Brook framework to actually work.

Again, that may indeed be the case, but at the moment I'm trying to get the Brook framework working. It may turn out to be sub optimal, I'm not competent at this stage to make that judgement. I just wanted a way to simply post a REST call and receive a reply. I have the TMSLCLCloud Pack. It has JSON functions that I've used in the past and it has REST calls (to the various cloud systems) that are relatively easy to change and call. I can try those, but I'd like to see how the Brook framework works.

Regardless, thanks for the response and taking an interest.

I'm not suggesting changing the library code. In the library, in addition to brookfclfcgibroker, brookfclcgibroker is brookfclhttpappbroker, brookfclhttpdaemonbroker and brooktardigradebroker.
You can try last three if no support brookfclfcgibroker in MacOS

I fixed it

OK

Hello dudes. Did you solved this problem? If so, could you provide a patch or push it? Thank you!

Hi, No I didn’t. It’s not something I can solve I don’t think. Cheers, Kevin
