Oh, right. I see now. I have renamed file.chs to fileInterface.chs. And left the line #include "file.h" in there. But c2hs fileInterface.chs still gives me errors:

It seems that cpp isn't happy with: cpp -x c fileInterface.h. It complains about the -x c option. Perhaps this is a bug in the Mac OS X version of cpp. Any ideas?
Ok, try these from the command line and tell us which work: 1. cpp -x -c fileInterface.h > fileInterface.i 2. cpp -x -c fileInterface.h -o fileInterface.i 3. cpp fileInterface.h -x -c > fileInterface.i 4. cpp fileInterface.h > fileInterface.i 5. gcc -x -c -E fileInterface.h > fileInterface.i 6. gcc -E fileInterface.h > fileInterface.i Perhaps also look in the cpp man page to see if there is anything funny about the -x option on OSX. The reason we need the -x c is to tell cpp that this file is a c file despite the fact that it ends in .h. The same applies to gcc -E. For example if you find gcc -E -x -c works then you can use that: c2hs --cpp='gcc -E' file.chs Duncan
