Any hints?
Have you tried installing the C libraries it requests?
kernel32.dll, user32.dll, etc. are all standard DLL files present in C:\WINDOWS\system32.
I was hoping that saying --extra-lib-dirs=C:\WINDOWS\system32 like the error message suggests would magically fix the problem... but no. I guess that would be too easy.
It also doesn't explain why Cabal isn't finding include/WideStringSrc.h, even though that's the correct relative path to the file. I checked six times; it's definitely there.
I also had a look around to see if there's any readme files in the Cabal package or any helpful hints on the package website. I found some example code, but nothing about how to get it to compile. :-( [Presumably because for the author it worked without doing anything special.]
Compile with -v3 or so, to get full debugging output on the PATH and explicit paths being used. Have you contacted the author? -- Don
