You could probably just use wsl to get lolcat, I've done it before.

No need for WSL. Just install Ruby from https://rubyinstaller.org and run gem install lolcat.

Can we compile this to work on any windows machine

Ruby is an interpreted language, so you'll always need the Ruby interpretor to run lolcat. However, you can use a bundler like ocra to make a standalone self-extracting executable for lolcat.

Its better on Linux and macos because thats what its made for- theres a reason why it doesn't have a windows install section in the readme
