Hi, I try to include an external lib (and C files that I made) on my cabal file and when I launch "configure" I have errors. I have added on my file: extra-libraries: "winscard" include-dirs: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Include" extra-lib-dirs: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib" and it fails because of the space on the path. (see logs) Is the syntax correct? What I have to change so that cabal can understand the space on directory path? Thanks for help Cabal version: 1.8.0.6 log after "runhaskell setup.lhs configure -v3" ("C:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\mingw\\bin\\gcc.exe",["C:\\Us ers\\E6400\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8104.c","-o","C:\\Users\\E6400\\AppData\\Local \\Temp\\8104","-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=612","-Idist\\build\\autogen","-ISmartCard/ libpcsc/inc",*"-I\"C:\\Program","-IFiles\\Microsoft","-ISDKs\\Windows\\v7.1\\Incl ude\"*","-I.","-IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\base-4.2.0 .2\\include","-IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/include","- IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/include","-lwinscard",*"-L\ "C:\\Program","-LFiles\\Microsoft","-LSDKs\\Windows\\v7.1\\Lib\"*","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\base-4.2.0.2","-LC:\\Program Files\\H askell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\integer-gmp-0.2.0.1","-LC:\\Program Files\\Has kell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\ghc-prim-0.2.0.0","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\l ib/gcc-lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib"]) C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\gcc.exe returned ExitFailure 1 with error message: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwinscard collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ("C:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\mingw\\bin\\gcc.exe",["C:\\Us ers\\E6400\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8104.c","-o","C:\\Users\\E6400\\AppData\\Local \\Temp\\8104","-lwinscard","*-L\"C:\\Program","-LFiles\\Microsoft","-LSDKs\\Windo ws\\v7.1\\Lib\"",*"-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\base-4 .2.0.2","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\integer-gmp-0.2 .0.1","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\ghc-prim-0.2.0.0" ,"-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\ Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/gcc-lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platfor m\\2010.2.0.0\\lib"]) C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\gcc.exe returned ExitFailure 1 with error message: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwinscard collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ("C:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\mingw\\bin\\gcc.exe",["C:\\Us ers\\E6400\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8104.c","-o","C:\\Users\\E6400\\AppData\\Local \\Temp\\8104","-lwinscard","-L\"C:\\Program","-LFiles\\Microsoft","-LSDKs\\Windo ws\\v7.1\\Lib\"","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\base-4 .2.0.2","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\integer-gmp-0.2 .0.1","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\ghc-prim-0.2.0.0" ,"-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\ Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/gcc-lib","-LC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platfor m\\2010.2.0.0\\lib"]) C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\gcc.exe returned ExitFailure 1 with error message: C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2010.2.0.0\mingw\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lwinscard collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ("C:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\mingw\\bin\\gcc.exe",["C:\\Us ers\\E6400\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\8104.c","-o","C:\\Users\\E6400\\AppData\\Local \\Temp\\8104","-c","-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=612","-Idist\\build\\autogen","-ISmart Card/libpcsc/inc",*"-I\"C:\\Program","-IFiles\\Microsoft","-ISDKs\\Windows\\v7.1\ \Include\*"","-I.","-IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib\\base- 4.2.0.2\\include","-IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/includ e","-IC:\\Program Files\\Haskell Platform\\2010.2.0.0\\lib/include"]) Setup.lhs: Missing dependency on a foreign library: * Missing C library: winscard This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
