Is there any POSIX compatibility layer for Windows x64?

I'm trying to compile Redis for Windows x64 with no luck.

I tried different things

  • Cygwin works perfectly but GCC produces only 32 bit executables

  • Compling with Mingw-w64 will not work without a lot of code changes (My understanding is that MinGw does not provide POSIX compatibility for Windows)

  • Microsoft Services for Unix has an outdated GCC version and requires the Unix subsystem to be installed as a dependency

Any idea?
