Stack can't find libgfortran-3.dll when trying to build with hmatrix

Question

I am trying to setup hmatrix on my Windows 10 machine with GHC 8.0.2. I was following the answer here but when I try to build it says that it cannot find libgfortran-3.dll although I am sure I added it to the bin folder in the BLAS directory. My code is in here I run stack build and this is what I get:

    Cabal-simple_Z6RU0evB_1.24.2.0_ghc-8.0.2.exe: Missing dependency on a foreign
    library:
    * Missing C library: libgfortran-3
    This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
    provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
    already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
    --extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.

D:\OpenBLAS-v0.2.19-Win64-int32\bin includes both libopenblas.dll and libgfortran-3.dll and the blas directory was taken from this url

Thanks for any help

I've managed to install it as follows.

In yourpath\to\stack\x86_64-windows\msys2-20150512, open a msys2 shell by double-clicking on msys2_shell.bat.

In the shell, type:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

Then add these "extra" in stack.yaml:

extra-include-dirs:
- yourpath\to\OpenBLAS\include
extra-lib-dirs:
- yourpath\to\OpenBLAS\lib
- yourpath\to\stack\x86_64-windows\msys2-20150512\usr\lib\gcc\x86_64-pc-msys\6.3.0
- yourpath\to\stack\x86_64-windows\msys2-20150512\mingw64\bin
