You need the zlib library: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/zlib Build with cabal (simple) $ vi Config.hs $ ./build $ ./lambdabot { -e command } If the ./Setup.hs step doesn't seem to like the cabal file, you likely need to install an updated version of Cabal: $ cd $place_you_want_to_put_cabal $ darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal $ cd Cabal $ runghc -cpp Setup.lhs configure && runghc -cpp Setup.lhs build # runghc -cpp Setup.lhs install Note: If you want lambdabot to be able to evaluate expressions (e.g., "> 1 + 1" evaluates to 2) then you'll need hs-plugins and also before './Setup.hs configure --bindir=`pwd`' you need to copy lambdabot.cabal.plugins to lambdabot.cabal. Or with ghci (fastest turn around). But first you have to build with cabal as above anyway. So this is mostly for development purposes. $ vi Config.hs $ sh configure $ sh ghci Main.hs then *Main> main or *Main> online <list> where <list> is a list of commands to execute, as with -e. OFFLINE MODE: ./lambdabot CONNECTING: ./lambdabot -e 'rc online.rc' SSL MODE (with stunnel): append the following to your stunnel.conf client = yes [irc] accept = 6667 connect = ssl-irc-server.org:6667 and edit online.rc to use localhost as server, then restart the stunnel server and restart lambdabot with: ./lambdabot -e 'rc online.rc' SCRIPTS: The scripts directory contains some shell scripts for Vim editor support They are self-explanatory BUGS: Bug reports, patches, new modules etc, contact: Don Stewart <dons@cse.unsw.edu.au> aka dons on #haskell REPOSITORY: Our darcs repository is located at: http://code.haskell.org/lambdabot CONTRIBUTING: Use 'darcs send' to submit patches to dons. Add yourself to the AUTHORS file if you haven't already.
