That's odd. You could try to run 'cabal >> build -v' and see how cabal tries to run gtk2hsC2hs.exe.

Oh I see. Yes, I guess that's my fault. I hard coded the program "cpp" into this c2hs version. It should probably be called cpp.exe or something and it may not be the GNU cpp. A portable way of finding a valid cpp would be to use autoconf. But maybe I can get this information from within Setup.hs as it knows how to run cpp. Can you link cpp to some cpp.exe and try again? That would at least pin down the cause.
