Failed to install ruby through rbenv using ubuntu's bash on window 10

Question

I'm trying to install ruby on window 10 and having some problems.

First of all I followed the instruction to install ubuntu's bash but after adding the "sublinux system" option on control panel and reinstalled, the bash didn't work at all. It's just turn off immediately when I clicked on it. So I downloaded linux app on Microsoft store, and continue the instruction, then I'm stucked with the ruby installation.

   See `config.log' for more details

I have looked for solutions and installed libssl-dev already but It doesn't help anything.

You might want to try

sudo apt-get install gcc

If it does not work, try this topic

To summarize

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update
sudo apt install g++-7 -y

Also, I want to share my experience about installing and working with RoR & Mysql on Windows here

Thanks for your suporting. I did take a look at that post but still failed. So I think install ubuntu is much more easier for RoR. And after 7 hours struggling, now It worked like a charm !!! :-) – TamTam Jun 18 '19 at 08:37
