Cannot install gtk2hs-buildtools with stack

[mwu-tow]

When I give the cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools correctly installs the package. However, the same fails with stack:
stack install gtk2hs-buildtools fails with an error:

I give the command from my home directory, outside from any projects.

See https://gist.github.com/mwu-tow/2c7f9f204eed5efedd16 for the full output
and https://gist.github.com/mwu-tow/c1e71813b76443ecc794 for the --verbose version

My stack --version is Version 0.1.4.0, Git revision dac8cfe51802e08edb523b80c51cf35e21933513 (1722 commits) X86_64 — but I just checked the recently released 0.1.5.0 and the issue is the same.

Interestingly, on another Windows machine it works fine.
Could this be caused by the Windows paths length limitation? Where is the file that cannot be opened? (only relative path is outputted, I'm not sure where I should look for it)

Can you try first set STACK_ROOT=c:\sw to see if it helps? In all likelihood, it won't, and this will be triggered by the length of your temporary directory path.

I just merged #1027, which should help with this. If you try again with Stack master (stack upgrade --git), it will likely succeed.

I already have STACK_ROOT=c:\s so it does not help.

The master version solved the problem for me. :-)
