I downloaded and installed stack using the installer on Windows.

I then try to run:

    $ stack new new-project rio
    $ cd new-project
    $ stack run

This leads to this error:

How can I resolve it? I am not even sure how to better understand the actual problem.

I am working with git bash.

I resolved the WARNING by editing stack.yaml. I have also tried installing pkg-config using pacman on mingw as in this answer but the package was not found.

  • I this the first time you've installed haskell on this computer? I was thinking if it could some broken artefact from an older installation. – Hjulle Dec 11 '21 at 11:58
  • @Hjulle, yes, I think it's very likely the first time on this computer. What's the general direction I should be looking to resolve this? I am not quite sure what is actually happening. – Patrick Jan 06 '22 at 21:31
  • I don't really know either. It might be worth reporting this as an issue to the [`stack` repo](https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues). You can test if it helps to upgrade to a newer version of stackage and/or using a simpler template (e.g. the default template). – Hjulle Jan 07 '22 at 06:34
