Yes. I also get this error on Ubuntu, by the way.

Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Cabal package with C module main entry
point - Bad compile order
To: [email protected]

Hi all,
I'm currently attempting to create a cabal Configure build-type package to
create an executable whose main entry point comes from a C file. I've
almost got it working where the Main.hs exports a foreign function that is
called from within the C module's main(), except for the fact that cabal wants
to compile the C file before the hs *_stub.h is generated.
Is there a way to fix this dependency?
Cheers,
Darren
PS- This is related to the old problem of making SDL apps work on OSX.
