Cabalized gtk2hs: errors

Cabalized version available at http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk2hs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00535.html

During installation of cairo-0.10.5:

[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Setup.hs, dist\setup\Main.o )
Linking .\dist\setup\setup.exe ...
Configuring cairo-0.10.5...
setup.exe: Missing dependencies on foreign libraries:
* Missing C libraries: z, cairo
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system packages that
provide these libraries (you may need the "-dev" versions). If the libraries
are already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where they are.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
cairo-0.10.5 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1
