I know this question has been asked before, ive tried all the solutions and cant seem to get anywhere. Ive spent the better half of the day on this and im at my wits end.

I am trying to setup my app on a windows machine. Ive used the rails installer which comes with DevKit.

This works fine:

gem install mysql2 -- --with-mysql-include=<PATH_TO_XAMPP>\mysql\include --with-mysql-lib=<PATH_TO_XAMPP>\mysql\lib\opt --with-mysql-config=<PATH_TO_XAMPP>\mysql\bin\mysql_config

But bundle install fails with the native extension error.

Ive tried:

bundle config build.mysql --with-mysql-include=e:\xampp\xampp\mysql\include --with-mysql-lib=e:\xampp\xampp\mysql\lib\opt --with-mysql-config=e:\xampp\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql_config

But, no dice.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
