Hello,
I try to install RedMine on my Windows Server 2019, and I started installing required gems, and got error, see later. Please, help me. Thanks in advance.

It’s hard to know why the build failed unless you take a look at the gem_make.out file.

Can you tell us the content of the file?

There are few similar problems like this:

I’m not much familiar with windows environment, but the issue is related. You must install Ruby DevKit if you want to install gems like these. Ruby DevKit can be found here:

Dealing with installation errors can be a real headache, huh? I once ran into a similar issue when trying to set up a software on my server.

Have you checked if there are any specific compatibility requirements or dependencies needed for Racc 1.5.2 on Windows Server 2019? Sometimes, it’s those little details that can cause big headaches.
