Cannot install tiny_tds on Windows

I've been trying to install tiny_tds on Windows using RubyGems. I'm using Ruby 2.5.9p229. Also installed the Developer Tools but I'm always getting following error. Tried with and without freetds-dir.

C:\JenkinsWorkspaces\PMS_master@2>gem install tiny_tds -- --with-freetds-dir=C:\freetds-1.00

Building native extensions with: '--with-freetds-dir=C:\freetds-1.00'

This could take a while...

C:/jruby-9.2.9.0/lib/ruby/stdlib/rubygems/ext/builder.rb:76: warning: unsupported popen option: err

RuntimeError: The compiler failed to generate an executable file.

You have to install development tools first.

I want to connect my Rails 5 app to MicrosoftSql Server. Now I use Rails 4 with jdbc-adapter. Any help would be really appreciated!

Apparently after installing the DevKit, I had to make the MSYS2 tools available in the PATH by running ridk enable on cmd. This solved the issue and I was able to install tiny_tds.
