Comment 1

[James Teh [:Jamie]]

I'm surprised midl didn't complain about this. IA2TypeLibrary.idl references IAccessible2_3, but that interface has been deprecated and is thus no longer included.

IAccessible2_3 has been removed from the merged IDL build script in the official IA2 repository. Therefore, I think the correct fix is to remove it from IA2TypeLibrary.idl as well.

Tasks:

1. Submit a pull request to https://github.com/LinuxA11y/IAccessible2 which removes this line.
2. Once that's merged, submit a patch to mozilla-central to update that file in other-licenses/ia2.

Attachment: Bug 1857121: Update IA2TypeLibrary.idl to latest revision (IAccessible2 repo commit 4461630f).

Most importantly, this removes the reference to the IAccessible2_3 interface, which is now deprecated and thus missing from the IDL we build in accessible/interfaces/ia2/IA2Typelib.idl.
This was causing MinGW builds to fail, though strangely, Microsoft's midl tool doesn't seem to care.
