Running stack build and even stack --nix build on a NixOS build yields the following:

Linking /run/user/1000/stack7176/old-time-1.1.0.3/.stack-work/dist/x86_64-linux-nix/Cabal-1.22.5.0/setup/setup ...
Configuring old-time-1.1.0.3...
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-compiler, --with-gcc
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/run/user/1000/stack7176/old-time-1.1.0.3':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details

I have installed gcc and clang on my system and verified that, i.e., gcc is indeed on my path. How to resolve this issue?

What NixOS channel are you on? – Chris Martin Jul 23 '17 at 01:40
@Chris: `nixos-unstable` – George Jul 23 '17 at 20:07
I don't know what's wrong here, but for what it's worth, you shouldn't have to install `gcc` and `clang`; that's the whole point of the Nix integration, Stack ought to be starting its own nix-shell environment with everything it needs. – Chris Martin Jul 23 '17 at 20:10
Can you post a minimal stack file to reproduce this? – iElectric Aug 09 '17 at 09:59
