Description changed by rcook:

@@ -25,1 +25,1 @@
- * Add the line `c-source-files: src/Main.c` to the `executable inlinecbug`
+ * Add the line `c-sources: src/Main.c` to the `executable inlinecbug`

New description:

 Repro steps:

 * Install Stack on a ''Windows'' development machine.
 * Create new simple project with `stack new inlinecbug simple`.
 * Rename `src/Main.hs` to `src/Main.hsc` in the `inlinecbug` project
 directory.
 * Build project with `stack build` and run with `stack exec inlinecbug` to
 verify that hsc2hs works correctly.
 * Replace content of `src/Main.hsc` with following:
 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 import qualified Language.C.Inline as C

 C.include ""

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
   x <- [C.exp| double{ cos(1) } |]
   print x
 }}}
 * In `inlinecbug.cabal` add `inline-c` to the `build-depends` section of
 `executable inlinecbug`.
 * Add the line `c-sources: src/Main.c` to the `executable inlinecbug`
 section.
 * Rebuild with `stack build`.

 Build will fail with a linker error referring to a undefined reference to
 an `inline_c_main...` function. List the files in the root directory of
 the project and you'll see that inline-c has generated a file with the
 name `srcMain.c`: i.e. the backslashes in the Windows path have been
 removed.

 Building under Linux generates the C output file with the correct,
 expected path of `src/Main.c` and the program will compile, link and run
 as expected.
