Answer 1

The easy way to install Redis on OS X is using Homebrew. Just install it and run:
brew install redis
This command install already compiled binaries to your system.

Answer 2

Do a
make distclean
first. make distclean should fix this by removing the built hiredis.
The next make should build all again.

Answer 3

[make distclean; CC=gcc make ] I use this command . it works for redis 5.0.6

Answer 4

Using Homebrew it is quite easy to install-
brew update
brew install redis
To check
redis-cli ping

Then you are good to go(y)

Answer 5

I had the same problem while compile C++ project with redis api
BUT I'm using g++ to compile while you using cmake.
if one used g++ compile C++ with redis on Mac(M1), one can add
-lhreids
for project compiling.
It would work.
