This works great, thanks!
As a footnote: I doubt I will be the only one is confused because "cc-options" get passed to c2hs but "cpp-options" don't. Perhaps the cabal designers should revisit this choice.
I mostly agree. What is a bit odd about c2hs is that it mixes cpp flags for the C headers with cpp flags for the .chs file itself. So cc-options are really for the C code, and those get passed to c2hs. The cpp-options are for pre-processing Haskell code, and indeed arguably these should be passed to c2hs too because recent c2hs versions also apply something approximating cpp to the .chs file itself. So depending on whether your -U__BLOCKS__ flag is to influence the C headers or the contents of the .chs file, then use cc-options or cpp-options. I'll update this for some future release. Duncan
