For future reference, please ALWAYS copy/paste your actual code as-is.
Don't re-type it manually.  It leads to too many mistakes and
misunderstandings.

That is not a linker error.  That is a compiler error.  Compiling and
Linking are two very separate operations.

There is no possible way for that code, with or without the correction, to
cause that particular error.  I have seen TIdThread::Synchronize() cause
"Could not found match for..." errors before, but there is no reason for
your particular error to occur.

Look at that line again, and then look further above.  That is the EXACT
same line that you said is erroring.

Try commenting out the TMethod overloaded version of Synchronize() in
IdThread.hpp.

The alternative is to use a TIdSync-derived class instead of using
TIdThread::Synchronize().
