Ruby 3.4 Load Errors

[LukeIGS]

Attempting to load tiny_tds in ruby 3.4.2 (2025-02-15 revision d2930f8e7a) +PRISM [x64-mingw-ucrt] on windows 10/11 hosts will lead to an error with version 3.2.0, version 3.1.0 does not have this issue.

Steps:

1. Install ruby 3.4 on a windows host using ruby installer
2. $ gem install tiny_tds -v 3.2.0
3. launch IRB
4. require 'tiny_tds'

Expected:
tiny_tds should load with no errors

Actual:
irb(main):001> require 'tiny_tds'

found the issue: the libsybdb-5.dll needed to load tiny_tds is under ports/x64-mingw-ucrt/bin, but the Gem currently only loads the lib subfolder.

There is also some issue on our CI, I would have expected that it catches such an error, as we have a test that explicitely call require 'tiny_tds'.

I'll check and report back later this week, hopefully with a bugfix release.

Hi @LukeIGS, I just pushed a new release v3.2.1 that should fix the loading issue on Windows.
