fails to install on win10

[lumean]

I also tried installing the gem debase-ruby_core_source first, but this did not help either.

@lumean please provide output of ruby -v

D:\>ruby -v

is there anything I can try on my side to further debug the issue? I have managed to manually create the make file and compile it on my machine, so in general the devkit installation should be fine. Note the error I get when I try to manually create the makefile without -rdevkit is quite similar to the one I get above during gem install

Maybe there is an issue with the environment variables. It seems like there's a chained invocation of ruby and the second time devkit is not anymore added to the path.

I'm using uru to manage different ruby versions and ruby is not by default installed to my PATH. But on the other hand many other native gem extensions (like json, nokogiri, etc) install just fine with the same setup.

[lumean]

We can close this issue. After adding ruby and devkit to the path the gem install works fine. Going to open a ticket for uru to address the environment variable issue.

That's not true for me lumean, even doing what you said, debase can't get installed.

Yes, works fine here too with both msys2 and msvc++.
