WIndows support?

[VioletGiraffe]

Can this lib be built on and for Windows? Either way, you should specify it explicitly in the description to avoid this question in the future :)

Hello! I have never compiled redox for windows. However, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, especially in a mingw/cygwin setup. It may take a little CMake fiddling.

I spent some time trying to get it to compile on VS2015, but I'm afraid I failed. I got it all to compile after a bit of hacking on it, but I believe the event loop was not initializing itself properly. redisAsyncConnect() calls would fail with an error message I don't recall right now. I'll be re-attempting this over this weekend or next weekend. I'll post more info after that

edit (months later): sorry I'm still trying to find time to do this...

Please, update the main description to point out this is not Windows ready. I truly look forward to a windows implementation cause so far it looks like an incredible hiredis implementation.

But after a lot of getting trough the docs and learning about Redox, I just see that it is not possible/feasible to make it run on Windows. So I just hope others not to run into the same issue as me.

Besides that, Redox is great, hope it gets more attention and keeps on growing!
