How to solve "cabal: Could not resolve dependencies" when building cardano-cli cardano-node

Question

I'm a newbie to Cardano. I'm trying to set up a stake pool as this link explained.

https://www.coincashew.com/coins/overview-ada/guide-how-to-build-a-haskell-stakepool-node

I stuck with cabal build cardano-cli cardano-node step with the following error.

Warning: Requested index-state 2021-04-30T00:00:00Z is newer than
'hackage.haskell.org'! Falling back to older state (2021-04-29T23:07:55Z).
Resolving dependencies...
cabal: Could not resolve dependencies:
[__0] trying: Win32-network-0.1.0.0 (user goal)
[__1] trying: base-4.14.1.0/installed-4.14.1.0 (dependency of Win32-network)
[__2] trying: lobemo-scribe-systemd-0.1.0.0 (user goal)
[__3] next goal: libsystemd-journal (dependency of lobemo-scribe-systemd)
[__3] rejecting: libsystemd-journal-1.4.5 (conflict: pkg-config package
libsystemd>=209, not found in the pkg-config database)
[__3] rejecting: libsystemd-journal-1.4.4 (conflict:
base==4.14.1.0/installed-4.14.1.0, libsystemd-journal => base>=4.6 && <4.13)
[__3] skipping: libsystemd-journal-1.4.3, libsystemd-journal-1.4.2,
libsystemd-journal-1.4.1, libsystemd-journal-1.4.0, libsystemd-journal-1.3.4,
libsystemd-journal-1.3.3, libsystemd-journal-1.3.1, libsystemd-journal-1.3.0,
libsystemd-journal-1.2.0, libsystemd-journal-1.1.0, libsystemd-journal-1.0.0
(has the same characteristics that caused the previous version to fail:
excludes 'base' version 4.14.1.0)
[__3] fail (backjumping, conflict set: base, libsystemd-journal,
lobemo-scribe-systemd)
After searching the rest of the dependency tree exhaustively, these were the
goals I've had most trouble fulfilling: base, libsystemd-journal,
lobemo-scribe-systemd, Win32-network
Try running with --minimize-conflict-set to improve the error message.

Anyone can enlighten me to solve this, please?

Answer 1

Are you running the command in nix-shell?

If not, I'd suggest you clone the Plutus project, run nix-shell from within the Plutus repository.

Afterwards, try building the libs again

Answer 2

It looks like the issue is with Cabal and its dependencies versions, specifically the packages (base, libsystemd-journal,lobemo-scribe-systemd and Win32-network).
