I assume the bug you're encountering is this one:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1828
in which case the workaround is not to install GHC to a patch containing spaces.
If it's not that bug, then we'll have to investigate further.
I searched trac for windres and found two tickets (including that one above), neither of which seems to describe my problem. Here's the (trimmed) output from ghc -v3: Linking Main.exe ... *** Windres: c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin/windres --preprocessor=c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\gcc -Bc:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\gcc-lib/ -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED --input=C:/DOCUME~1/bayleya/LOCALS~1/Temp/ghc1480_0/ghc1480_0.rc --output=C:/DOCUME~1/bayleya/LOCALS~1/Temp/ghc1480_0/ghc1480_0.o --output-format=coff c:\ghc\ghc-6.8.1\bin/windres: can't open font file `for': No such file or directory You can see that my ghc installation is on a path sans spaces. Would you like more information?
