This is c2hs-0.1.4.5. The same thing happens under Msys (mingw) and under a Dos shell. Also the error occurs using both GHC-6.4.2 and GHC-6.5. Looks like I'll be linking to my C library by hand.
Yes this is due to changes in Cabal in later versions of GHC. Grab the Setup.hs from here: http://darcs.haskell.org/c2hs/Setup.hs to replace the one in the 0.14.5 tarball, then everything should work fine. We should do another release with this fix and others. Duncan
