Failed to build gem native extension/ no rule to make target

[ssterrett]

I am having the same issue as #62 but uninstalling Ruby and reinstalling have not worked and I have MSYS installed. I have no idea what arena.o is (Arena of Valor is all that shows up on google). Full details below.

I attempted bundle exec jekyll serve
and got the error bundler: command not found: jekyll Install missing gem executables with bundle install

So I attempted bundle install and got:

An error occurred while installing commonmarker (0.17.8), and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that `gem install commonmarker -v '0.17.8'` succeeds before bundling.

So I attempted gem install commonmarker -v '0.17.8 and got:

You didn't mention it so I'll ask just to be sure: do you have Ruby DevKit installed?

[ssterrett]

I had assumed that was included when I installed MSYS2, since Ruby >= 2.4. I called ridk install and when asked

1 - MSYS2 base installation
   2 - MSYS2 system update
   3 - MSYS2 and MINGW development toolchain

Which components shall be installed? If unsure press ENTER [1,2,3]  

Previously I had ENTER, but choosing option 3 seems to have done the job. This issue is resolved. Thanks!

The option 3 did the trick. I was struggling to install fluent-plugin-mongo on windows. Found out this was the actual issue. (BTW, I am using ruby just for the reason that it is a build dependency for Fluentd).
