[hakyll] stack build => Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h

[m***@gmail.com]

hi

I have been trying to install hakyll on nixos. I tried to follow the
instructions on https://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/tutorials/01-installation.html:
$ nix-env -iA hakyll
$ hakyll-init .
$ stack init
$ stack build

which triggers this error (zlib header missing):

Cabal-simple_mPHDZzAJ_2.2.0.1_ghc-8.4.3: Missing dependency on a foreign
library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: zlib.h
* Missing (or bad) C library: z
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library
is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.If
the
library file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run
configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by
the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run
configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.

Could this be an error in the packaging ? stack says it is in nix
compatible mode so it should be able to install the zlib.dev package.

I followed
https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#builds-using-stack-complain-about-missing-system-libraries
and that fixed it. I wondered if stack init could have done it
automatically though.
