在Windows 7 x64上安装gem byebug

Question

I've seen there have been others who have had a problem installing byebug on a Windows x64 system... Reading over the comments and trying a number of entries I am still not able to get it to install. Here is the response I get each time I try:

D:\Ruby25-x64\bin>gem install byebug
Temporarily enhancing PATH for MSYS/MINGW...
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing byebug:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

current directory: D:/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/byebug-10.0.1/ext/byebug
D:/Ruby25-x64/bin/ruby.exe -r ./siteconf20180327-5764-1i0l197.rb extconf.rb
D:/Ruby25-x64/bin/ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- extconf.rb (LoadError)

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in D:/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/byebug-10.0.1 for inspection.

Is there anyone out there who can give me a clear solution to this problem. Thanks

As confirmed in the comment, you can try to install as:

gem install --platform=ruby --verbose
