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.

I think it's only ghc-6.6, but I'll retest against 6.8 and 6.10. If it's only 6.6 then I'm not going to sweat it. Alistair

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's gcc that finds the header files. It could be ghc-6.6 that is somehow messing up passing flags on to gcc, but that would also be surprising.

Below are the gcc version and ghc commands for 6.6.1, 6.8.1, & 6.10.1. Puzzling that 6.8.1 works while 6.6.1 doesn't, given that they both use the same gcc. There must be something else going on. Like I said, I'm not going to worry about it much. ghc-hq aren't going to release a fix for ghc-6.6 now, are they? I will fix Setup.hs so that the trailing path separator is stripped.
