If you have cpphs, hugs, jhc, greencard etc., it is probably something about your 
environment. If you don't have them, it's clear that they aren't found.

On the other hand, that doesn't explain

Using c2hs version 0.16.0 given by user at: C:\Program
Files\Haskell\bin\c2hs.exe

-- so it finds c2hs, and can apparently run c2hs --version

("C:\\Program Files\\Haskell\\bin\\c2hs.exe",["--include=dist\\build","--cppopts=-
D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=610","--cppopts=-IC:
\\A\\install\\programming\\portaudio\\portaudio\\include","--output-dir=dist\\build","--
output=Sound\\PortAudio\\Base.hs",".\\Sound\\PortAudio\\Base.chs"])
c2hs.exe: does not exist
C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin\c2hs.exe returned ExitFailure 1

-- bang

To ascertain whether c2hs works at all, can you try to run it manually?

(cd to an appropriate directory,

cabal unpack portaudio

cd portaudio (or whatever, so that Base.chs is found via .\Sound\PortAudio\Base.chs

md dist\build

c2hs.exe  --include=dist\build --cppopts=-D__GLASGOW_HASKELL__=610 --cppopts=-IC:
\A\install\programming\portaudio\portaudio\include --output-dir=dist\build --
output=Sound\PortAudio\Base.hs .\Sound\PortAudio\Base.chs
)
If that works, the problem is somewhere in cabal, otherwise in c2hs, either way, we'll 
know more.
