Can't build a project with module imports using stack (on windows)

I made a training project which requires several module imports (Database.Redis and Web.Scotty among them). When I do stack build I get this:

D:\ssd-data\work\my-project\my-project.cabal was modified manually. Ignoring D:\ssd-data\work\my-project\package.yaml in favor of the cabal file.
If you want to use the package.yaml file instead of the cabal file,
then please delete the cabal file.
Stack has not been tested with GHC versions above 8.6, and using 8.8.3, this may fail
Stack has not been tested with Cabal versions above 2.4, but version 3.0.1.0 was found, this may fail
WARNING: Ignoring regex-posix's bounds on base (<0 && >=4.3 && <4.14); using base-4.13.0.0.

When I build a project without any imports, everything is okay.

I had the same problem, but I solved it. If you haven't solved the problem yet, I think you can fix the problem if you follow what I did.

The most important part of the error message is as follows. The point is that the header file is missing (regex.h), and you have to add it to the proper path.

regex-posix      > ...\regex-posix-0.96.0.0\Wrap.hsc:96:10: fatal error: 
                   regex.h: No such file or directory    
regex-posix      > compilation terminated.

You can get the regex.h file from https://code.woboq.org/linux/include/regex.h.html. Save the file into the path as shown in above error messages (last line). In your case, the path is:

\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.8.3\lib\include

The important thing is to put the regex.h file in Haskell's library folder. (...\x86_64-windows\ghc-8.8.3\lib\include) After that, execute stack build command.

I hope my answer is helpful to you.
