Ruby on rails : Bundle update giving errors in Windows - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to run my rails server. When I first ran, I got an error like this
No timezone data source could be found. To resolve this, either install TZInfo:
I resolve the error by updating the x64 version of tzinfo-data in the gem file. After that when I ran bundle update, I am getting the following error
* extconf.rb failed * Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check
the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration
options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=C:/Ruby24-x64/bin/$(RUBY_BASE_NAME)
--with-libxml2-config
--without-libxml2-config
--with-pkg-config
--without-pkg-config extconf.rb:29:in `': The "libxml2" package isn't available. (RuntimeError)
To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log
which can be found here:
C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/extensions/x64-mingw32/2.4.0/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.3.0/mkmf.log
extconf failed, exit code 1
Gem files will remain installed in
C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/gems/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.3.0 for
inspection. Results logged to
C:/Ruby24-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0/extensions/x64-mingw32/2.4.0/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.3.0/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing ovirt-engine-sdk (4.3.0), and
Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install ovirt-engine-sdk
-v '4.3.0' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' succeeds before bundling.
In Gemfile: fog was resolved to 2.1.0, which depends on
fog-ovirt was resolved to 1.1.6, which depends on
ovirt-engine-sdk
What could have possibly gone wrong? How to resolve this in Windows machines?

I know this might not be a good answer for you, but running Ruby on Rails on windows is a pain, and going to be terrible experience, try to set a dual boot with Ubuntu, Debian or any other linux distribution along side with windows and then you can develop with RoR as it should.
