I am attempting a C++ binding in Haskell and running into "undefined reference" errors when calling the binding.
I've make a small project (http://github.com/deech/CPlusPlusBindings) to illustrate the problem. It includes a small C++ class, a C wrapper, a C test script and a Haskell binding and a test script. The C test script works, the Haskell one gives me:

Running cabal configure
, and cabal build
will compile the C++ and C bindings and reproduce the error.
Update
I've solved the problem as outlined in the comment below. It appears I can't answer my own question, though.
