This may be an #ifdef issue.

Can you try building with this branch on my fork?

If the switch to using _WIN32 that was merged doesn't fix the problem let us know.

I don't know how vcpkg gets code so it will only help once they pull the newer version.

Thanks, I have similar issue #646 on azure redis cache and trying to figure out how to connect using ssl, any help appreciated. I am still waiting for Microsoft response, mainly azure gives access key I don't find any certificate to use with ssl package.

What is the equivalent of following StackExchange.Redis connection to hiredis connection? I think password can be set by AUTH. how to make the ssl = true in hiredis?
var conn = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("contoso5.redis.cache.windows.net,ssl=true,password=...");

@RameshKandukuriB I have the same issue connect to Azure Cache for Redis by TLS. Did you solve this problem ?
