I'm using a Laravel project as a local plugin of Moodle, using the composer/installer package. The layout of the project is:
// Moodle Application
- composer.json
- local/
- laravel-plugin/ <- here is the Laravel local plugin
- composer.json <- composer.json of Laravel plugin
The composer.json of the Moodle application
{

"license": "GPL-3.0",
"description": "Moodle - the world's open source learning platform",
"type": "project",

When I try to install the Laravel plugin using php composer.phar -vvv update, I hang on "Resolving dependencies through SAT".
I found a similar question which has the problem when only dealing with Laravel 4.2 in isolation. I haven't been through everything in the list and will update when I have.
My question is, is it normal for "Resolving dependencies through SAT" to hang when combining large composer projects like Laravel and Moodle? Are there any immediate steps I can take to reduce the complexity of the problem?
