Nokogiri already provides binaries for RubyInstaller precisely to
avoid the compilation problems.

https://rubygems.org/gems/nokogiri

PS C:\devkit> gem install nokogiri --with-xml2-lib --with-xslt-lib –
platform=ruby
ERROR: While executing gem … (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
invalid option: --with-xml2-lib
PS C:\devkit> gem install nokogiri --with-xml2-include --with-xslt-
include --platform=ruby
ERROR: While executing gem … (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
invalid option: --with-xml2-include
PS C:\devkit> gem install xml2 --platform=ruby

If you want to supply options to the gem compilation process, you to
do that after --:

gem install foo – --with-my-lib

Also note that you need libxml2 headers and libraries to compile
against.

On a second comment, seems you’re using PowerShell. Batch files that
modify the PATH might not work as expected inside PowerShell.

libxml2 is missing. please

If you check the installation instructions for Windows, it has already
provided a binary for it so you don’t need to compile it.
