Indicate target directory of stack build executable

I used to build a project with the following command:

stack ghc -- src/Main.hs -o build/myexecutablefile -odir build -hidir build -isrc

Now I've installed the project as a proper Stack package with stack.yaml and project.cabal files, I'm able to build it using the simpler stack build command.

However, I can't figure out how to specify, as I used to, that the executable file should go to the project/build directory. Currently, the executable file goes into the /Users/myself/project/.stack-work/install/x86_64-osx/993e24b...1126d52/8.8.4/bin folder and I haven't succeeded in changing it so far.

I've tried setting local-bin-path: ./build/ in stack.yaml, to no effect. stack path shows the correct value, but when running stack build, the executable still goes to the same destination folder as mentioned just above.

To put the binaries in their place:

stack install

which is a shortcut for

stack build --copy-bins
