'stack install' fails

[tuomohopia]

Something seems to kill the stack install process on my PC:

--  While building package haskell-gi-base-0.21.5 using:

Am I missing some required deps here or just doing something wrong?

I also tried adjusting the stack.yaml lts to lts-14.3 (GHC 8.6.5).

It's possible your OS is killing stack because it's using too much memory. Try adding the -j1 option to stack install to limit concurrent dependency building in order to reduce memory usage.

It's possible you're missing the C library gobject-introspection-1.0. At least that's what was causing my build to fail at this same point.

See here for how to install the missing dep on various platforms.
