Hiredis on Windows XP SP3

I have this error while installing gem hiredis on Windows XP SP3:

C:\>gem install hiredis

Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...

Building native extensions. This could take a while...

make: ** [connection.o] Error 1

So I don't have file socket.h but I thought that those files are not included in win gcc dist. As you can see, RailsInstaller is used.

Hiredis is not compatible with Windows.

See Error when bundle install on windows

Hiredis uses *nix sockets directly instead of a more cross-platform method like many other gems.
