I have found a solution; I changed wxcore-0.90.0.1\setup.hs (added double  
quotes before and after filenames):
  - line 57 changed to:
     let wxcoreIncludeFile = "\"" ++ wxcDirectory </> "include/wxc.h\""
  - inserted after line 57:
     let wxcDirectory      = "\"" ++ wxcDirectory ++ "\""

This solution should be tested on other platforms.
