Install failure on macOS

Hi, I'm having trouble installing HsOpenSSL. I'm getting the following error:

    Configuring HsOpenSSL-0.11.4.11...
    setup: Can't find OpenSSL library,
    install it via 'brew install openssl' or 'port install openssl'
    or use --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs=
    to specify location of installed OpenSSL library.

However, I have run brew install openssl, and I can confirm that the /usr/local/opt/openssl/ and /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib directories are present.

Adding these lines to my stack.yaml file fixes it:

extra-include-dirs:
- /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
extra-lib-dirs:
- /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib

However, I was under the impression that this shouldn't be necessary, because of this commit: b95cea2

OS Version: macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C205) (Latest as of today)
Stack: Version 1.6.0.20171202, Git revision 50090e67c16980bba31349f386d5b018cbcaec31 (5421 commits) x86_64 hpack-0.20.0
LTS Haskell: 9.14
Compiler: 8.0.2 (Unchanged from LTS)
OpenSSL: 1.0.2n (Latest as today)

I had a coworker try it as well, and he had the same issue (Same project as mine, and also on macOS High Sierra)

Tell me if there's anything I can do to help debug this issue!

Hard to say. I have no experience with Stack.

Does it work if you set homebrew-openssl flag instead of settings extra-*-dirs?

And could you run installation with verbose flag and attach logs so I could see what happens during configuration stage.

Yes, I added these flags:

flags:
  HsOpenSSL:
    homebrew-openssl: true

and it installs correctly.

And could you run installation with verbose flag and attach logs so I could see what happens during configuration stage.

This is the output with --verbose --cabal-verbose. Before the package is actually configured you'll see "Exception ignored when attempting to load" the HsOpenSSL package—I'm pretty certain this is just because I had to uninstall HsOpenSSL (stack exec -- ghc-pkg unregister --force "HsOpenSSL) to reproduce what breaks installing it. After those lines it proceeds to configure it as normal, where it fails on finding the OpenSSL library.

I also ran the command with just --cabal-verbose which may be more relevant; here's that output.

(Note: these gists are when I'm installing with neither the manually added flag or the extra-*-dirs changes).

A cabal install of the same version of HsOpenSSL seems to work.

After that worked I unregistered the package and ran it again with --verbose flags in case that's helpful;

That log prints: Redirecting build log to {handle: /Users/maximiliantagher/.cabal/logs/ghc-8.2.1/HsOpenSSL-0.11.4.11-E0eYID5H9bI2rtP2Zsi72t.log}, so I included that too:

When doing $stack build with dependency on openssl, I've got the same issue on OSX Sierra,
Darwin Kernel 16.7.0 RELEASE_X86_64;

@MaxGabriel 's solution worked for me as well.

I was using MacPorts installed openssl / openssl @1.0.2o_1 (active),
hence did change in the configuration file by updating flags:
######## stack.yaml ###########

flags: 
  HsOpenSSL: 
          macports-openssl : true

##########################

make sure to care about indentation.

Btw, IMO it makes sense to add some kind of switching between 2 architectures: x86_64 and arm64 for M1, M2 if it can be done with some if platform(...). Or to change flags like homebrew-x86_64-openssl and homebrew-arm64-openssl or something similar.
