Hello If you are using the same OS on both your compile and production system and do have all the non-Haskell libraries you are linking installed on both you should be able to just copy the binary without any special options during stack build.
I have done it for dozens of different projects. Usually you need libgmp3c2, libpcre3 and zlib1g on Debian-based systems and possibly a database C library if the Haskell library for that you are using is just a wrapper around the C version. What kind of errors about missing files do you get?
