Use Haskell String syntax for paths that contain spaces:
include-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\program\\include"
Hi Duncan,
Thanks, this worked (mostly). Although I had to change the line to
include-dirs: "\"C:\\Program Files\\program\\include\""
so that the path would be passed properly to cpp through c2hs.
Oh, that must be a bug. Can you file it here please with details of exactly how to reproduce it: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/
Is this documented anywhere? I've been poring over the cabal guide trying to find this, with no success.
Yes, though perhaps not very clearly: http://haskell.org/cabal/release/latest/doc/users-guide/authors.html#pkg-des... The syntax of the value depends on the field. Field types include: token , filename , directory Either a sequence of one or more non-space non-comma characters, or a quoted string in Haskell 98 lexical syntax. Unless otherwise stated, relative filenames and directories are interpreted from the package root directory. Suggestions for improvement welcome. Even better would be patches. The user guide is in the Cabal repo in doc/Cabal.xml in docbook format. Duncan
