latest git failed to build under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal)

[fdarling]

I am trying to build sv2v from the latest git on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal fossa) amd64. Here is some information about my system:

$ dpkg -l | grep git | head -n 1
ii  git              1:2.25.1-1ubuntu3.1    amd64    fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

$ dpkg -l | grep haskell-stack
ii  haskell-stack    1.9.3.1-1              amd64    The Haskell Tool Stack

$ uname -r
5.8.0-53-generic

$ lsb_release -r
Release:    20.04

I installed the Ubuntu package haskell-stack:

$ sudo apt-get install haskell-stack

Cloned the latest git:

$ git clone https://github.com/zachjs/sv2v.git

And tried building using make:

$ cd sv2v
$ make
mkdir -p bin
stack install --install-ghc --local-bin-path bin

make: *** [Makefile:7: sv2v] Error 1

However, it seems that build process is having trouble downloading a necessary file. I am newbie to sv2v, so any help would be appreciated!

If 1.9.3.1 is your Stack version, I recommend upgrading your version. Based on the error message, it appears to be using a stale repo. I am currently on 2.5.1.1, and the latest is 2.7.1.

Any luck with upgrading your stack version? If this is an issue with sv2v, I'm eager to get it fixed!

It was definitely the version of stack. I downloaded a newer version (version 2.7.1) and set it up locally in my home folder:

$ ./stack --version
Version 2.7.1, Git revision 8afe0c2932716b0441cf4440d6942c59568b6b19 x86_64 hpack-0.34.4

Using that version of stack, I was able to build sv2v. It also ran without any problems, so you can mark this issue as closed with a solution. Thanks!
