Troubles with make #498

Closed boabjohn closed 8 years ago

boabjohn commented 8 years ago

Hi guys, I'm on a Win7 64-bit machine and all I need is redis-cli so that I can run a clear cache command on a remote server (Pantheon).

Not sure what the easiest way to achieve this is (aside from going fully linux!) but I have cygwin running and am trying my best.

  1. Download the .zip and unpack at c:/redis/redis-3.0
  2. Navigate here with cygwin and run make
  3. The attached snippet shows make trying to run and then encountering a bunch of errors around here:

make[3]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/redis/redis-3.0/deps/hiredis' cc -std=c99 -pedantic -c -O3 -fPIC -Wall -W -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -g -ggdb net.c net.c:1:0: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent) /* Extracted from anet.c to work properly with Hiredis error reporting.

redis-make.log.txt

Any pointers much appreciated!

@boabjohn I think it's much easier just to use redis-cli.exe that ships with Redis

boabjohn commented 8 years ago

Thanks @chester89, and apologies for being clueless, but redis-cli.exe is precisely what I'm looking for and don't understand how to get.

The download from this repo does not contain any *.exe files: those have to be compiled, right?

So that's what I've outlined above...my failure to make the compiled redis.

After searching again I've found this: http://codingsteps.com/install-redis-on-windows/ Will give it a go. Thanks.

Solution is installing cholatey package manager and letting it do the hard work: http://geekindulgence.com/install-redis-as-a-windows-service-using-chocolatey/

Thanks for the assistance.
