OK, scratch that. I realised today that you cannot simply cut-n-paste
the output of "cabal build -v" into an Msys shell and expect it to work,
because Cabal of course is not using a shell (with associated quotation
mechanisms), but rather System.Cmd.rawSystem.
So, investigating in ghci, by converting the output of "cabal build -v"
manually into the equivalent call to rawSystem, and adjusting the error
printing mechanism of gtk2hsC2hs to, I see that the _real_ error is
this:
gtk2hsC2hs.exe: does not exist
dist\build\System\Glib/System\Glib\GValue.hs:
openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
ExitFailure 1
Somehow, the output location is not being formed correctly. Is the
following pair of arguments correct, in the generated call to
gtk2hsC2hs?
--output-dir=dist\build\System\Glib
--output=System\Glib\GValue.hs
because it seems to me that when you stick them together, you get the
path reported by gtk2hsC2hs as not existing.
