'cabal copy' failed during `stack build` in cifs directory - haskell

I'm following these instructions. I successfully did stack new and stack setup but stack build fails.
I found a git issue that this may be due to extra files listed in the cabal file, but removing them didn't fix the issue (and I'm just using the new-template without any changes). I am on Ubuntu 14.04 and installed stack using the script. Is there anything else I can look into?
It appears that this might be due to me trying to build inside of a cifs directory. Is there anything I can do to handle this?

One possible cause of this issue is:
* No module named "Main". The 'main-is' source file should usually have a header indicating that it's a 'Main' module.

Looks like the issue is caused by the depth of the folder where the project lives (Windows 10, x64). From the moment the depth exceeds some threshold, described error appears. So try moving the project folder up in directories tree.

stack 2.7.1: build fails with resource busy (Text file busy) on Ubuntu

I'm unable to do stack build for any projects on Ubuntu 20.04 or 18.04 running as a VirtualBox guest on Windows 10. Building fails when trying to rename a temp file: .stack-cabal-mod11115-0.tmp: rename: resource busy (Text file busy)
edit: this appears to only happen on VirtualBox shared folders. Stack can successfully build a project in a folder that is not shared with the Windows hot.
I've previously had no issues with 1.9.x versions of stack in identical environments. At this point I'm not even able to get stack build to compile a new project on a clean Ubuntu installation. If I downgrade to 1.9.3 everything magically works. I've deleted ~.stack and .stack-work folders and retried without success.
Below is the output on a new project using stack new. I'm able to use stack repl, although I still get an error message about the build failing with

Error booting ghcjs in nixos from a stack project

I'm encountering an error running the boot stage of GHCJS in Nixos. GHCJS is being installed by stack with:
stack setup
And it fails during "installing stage 0" with:
solver must be one of: modular
My stack.yaml looks like:
resolver: lts-7.19
compiler: ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1
compiler-check: match-exact
(...)
setup-info:
ghcjs:
source:
ghcjs-0.2.1.9007019_ghc-8.0.1:
url: http://ghcjs.tolysz.org/ghc-8.0-2017-02-05-lts-7.19-9007019.tar.gz
sha1: d2cfc25f9cda32a25a87d9af68891b2186ee52f9
I've read that this was due to an incompatibility between cabal-install 2.0 and GHCJS. Even though I've been unable to find a way to fix it. Is there any way to make it build?

Stack can't find libgfortran-3.dll when trying to build with hmatrix

I am trying to setup hmatrix on my Windows 10 machine with GHC 8.0.2.
I was following the answer here but when I try to build it says that it cannot find libgfortran-3.dll although I am sure I added it to the bin folder in the BLAS directory.
My code is in here
I run stack build and this is what I get:

Cabal-simple_Z6RU0evB_1.24.2.0_ghc-8.0.2.exe: Missing dependency on a foreign
library:
* Missing C library: libgfortran-3
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.

I've managed to install it as follows.
In yourpath\to\stack\x86_64-windows\msys2-20150512, open a msys2 shell by double-clicking on msys2_shell.bat.
In the shell, type:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
Then add these "extra" in stack.yaml:
extra-include-dirs:
- yourpath\to\OpenBLAS\include
extra-lib-dirs:

This is caused by the argument length limit on Windows. Starting in GHC 7.10.3, GHC will support response files for sending linker arguments in order to bypass this limitation. In the meanwhile, a workaround is to manually make the path to your stack root shorter by setting the STACK_ROOT environment variable.

Cannot install accelerate-cuda in Haskell

I am on a linux box and trying to experiment with Haskell's Accelerate library but having problems installing it. I have successfully installed the accelerate package but there seems to be a dependency problem, which I have detailed below.
cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
accelerate-cuda-0.14.0.0 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
cuda-0.5.1.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 failed during the configure step. The exception was:
ExitFailure 1
haskell-src-meta-0.6.0.5 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
language-c-quote-0.7.6 depends on haskell-src-exts-1.14.0.1 which failed to
install.
I searched SO and noticed someone else had a similiar issue installed the cuda package, and was resolved by adding the cabal bin path to the PATH; I tried this but it didn't solve this problem.
Please could someone help as I really keen to play with this fantastic library.
I wanted to check accelerate-examples and play with them and I also didn't have CUDA GPU (AMD only) and that's how I eventually installed accelerate-examples with stack:
git clone https://github.com/AccelerateHS/accelerate-examples
cd accelerate-examples
#choose version:
ln stack-8.6.yaml stack.yaml
#build without CUDA targeting:
stack build --flag accelerate-examples:-llvm-ptx --flag accelerate-fft:-llvm-ptx
Installation will build all the examples and print the info regarding where they was put.
Might also need to specify GHC libs path with something like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:~/.stack/programs/x86_64-linux/ghc-8.6.5/lib/ghc-8.6.5/rts/
Also checked that accelerate installs as well the same way but even without specifying any flags (I guess because it doesn't build any programs yet?), but examples are what's fun :)
P.S. You can move llvm-ptx flags to stack.yaml config: change # flags: {} line to:
flags:
accelerate-fft:
llvm-ptx: false
accelerate-examples:
llvm-ptx: false
