Hi!
Everything works fine when compiling for Windows using 32-bit MinGW. A compilation error occurs when using the cross-compiler (installed on Debian 12.6).
I am configuring wxWidgets using the following lines
GXX=i686-w64-mingw32
../configure --host=$GXX --disable-shared --enable-monolithic --with-msw --with-expat --enable-sockets
make -j16
../configure --host=$GXX --disable-shared --enable-monolithic --with-msw --with-expat --enable-sockets
make -j16
Here is a list of errors.
What am I doing wrong?

This looks like an error in the SDK, "new" is a keyword in C++ and
shouldn't be used as identifier name. I don't have this in my (Debian 13)
version, so it has been already fixed, but we possibly could work around
this by the usual #define-new-as-something-else-before-including-the-header
(and #undef it after) trick. Could you try doing it?

However if your /usr/share/mingw-w64/include/uiautomationclient.h really
doesn't declare IUIAutomationElement (i.e. it's not some weird consequence
of the error above), there is no chance that this code will compile
anyhow... We're going to need a configure/CMake test and an option to
disable it in this case, please open an issue if this is indeed the case so
that we fix it in 3.3.4/3.4.0.
Thanks,
