I'm puzzled as to why this build fails (ghc-6.6.1, cabal-1.6 (actually HEAD, I think, but close enough, and winXP). The sqlite.h header file is in C:\Progra~1\sqlite3\, which is clearly given with the -I option.

Turns out it's the trailing backslash in the path C:\Progra~1\sqlite3\ (same error for slashes, too). !?

I am very surprised. Is that problem at the gcc level? Does specifying paths with trailing dir separator cause this problem for gcc in a simple test case? If it really is a problem with gcc on windows perhaps ghc can use an updated gcc in future releases or we could try stripping trailing dir separators on include dirs in Cabal. Duncan
