Does anyone know of a standalone version of lambdabot which will run on Windows? (When I try to configure lambdabot-4.0, I get Setup.hs: cannot satisfy dependency unix-any.)

The darcs repo version of lambdabot does run on windows. you'll need to remove the unix dependency from the .cabal file. At least 2 people have had it working.

Tim Newsham has more details.

Not much more details to give. You edit the cabal file and remove the unix dependency. You'll also have to comment out the ft, runplugs, check and smallcheck sections (these use some unix-specific tricks to limit how long an external program runs for. you could hack them out but then bot users could cause long-running processes to be executed). If you have the rest of the dependencies (ie. zlib and hs-plugins) it'll build just fine as-is. You can neuter the zlib bits and remove the zlib dependency if you really dont feel like building that. Make sure you follow the gist of the "build" script. There's more to build than just what the cabal file specifies...
