Bundler unable to install digest-whirpool [Windows, Ruby 2.7.6, Bundler 2.1.4]

[havardMoe]

When running "bundler update" trying to install from the Gemfile I get the following error: An error occurred while installing digest-whirlpool (1.0.3), and Bundler cannot continue.

When opening the logging file it says:
   26 C:/Ruby27-x64/lib/ruby/2.7.0/mkmf.rb:471:in `try_do': The compiler failed to generate an exe    cutable file. (RuntimeError)
   27 You have to install development tools first.

However, my ruby-installation is supposed to be "with devkit". So I am unsure which development tools it means. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Honestly I wouldn't attempt to install on a Windows system. Good luck!

I would ideally do it on an ubuntu machine on virtual-box, but I had some errors initializing more virtual machines within a virtual machine

I will try a little more, update you here if I find a solution, if not, i will install ubuntu on a laptop and try from there.

I recommend using a VM, and ensuring nested virtualization is enabled/supported. Then use rbenv to set the local ruby version to 2.7, and I think I then used "rbenv exec bundler install"
