Can't build the backend server with Cabal

[manuca]

Trying to build the backend server with cabal I hit some roadblocks in the process. I think I could get around some issues but others I don't know how to fix.

I tried this on macOS with: GHC 8.2.2 cabal 3.2.0.0

Missing Data.Monoid import in src/backend/Gzip.hs

The first issue I hit was multiple Variable not in scope: (<>) in this file. I got around it by adding:

import Data.Monoid ((<>))

Unsatisfied dependency when importing from Elm.Package

For this one I added elm-package as a build dependency on run-server.cabal but then I got into dependency hell and couldn't find how to fix it.

Tried both cabal new-build run-server and cabal build run-server without luck.

When I started getting conflicts I constrained http-client to >=0.3 && <0.5 but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Here's a capture of the output.

After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: http-client, run-server, elm-package,
base, optparse-applicative, transformers
Try running with --minimize-conflict-set to improve the error message.
