[Nix-dev] Statically linking haskell executable

[Arseniy Seroka]

Hello, guys!
Trying to compile and statically link haskell project executable.
I have in my .cabal file:
```
  GHC-Options:     -static
  Ld-Options:        -static -pthread
```

If I add `gtk` to the `Build-Depends` then I can't compile my project.
I'm getting:
```

```

I've changed my default nix like
```
let
  gtkStatic = pkgs.gnome.gtk.overrideDerivation (old: {
    dontDisableStatic = true;
    configureFlags = old.configureFlags + " --enable-static";
  });

  haskellPackages' = pkgs.haskellPackages.override {
    overrides = self: super: {
      gtk = super.gtk.override {
        mkDerivation = (attrs: self.mkDerivation (attrs // {
          libraryPkgconfigDepends = [ gtkStatic ];
          enableSharedLibraries = false;
        }));
      };
    };
  };
in
haskellPackages'.callPackage ./project.nix { }
``` where ./project.nix is a generated file by `cabal2nix`.
But that doesn't help.

How can I properly build static executable? I need to run it on the arch
linux.
