Nokogiri already provides binaries for RubyInstaller precisely to
avoid the compilation problems.

https://rubygems.org/gems/nokogiri

PS C:\devkit> gem install nokogiri --with-xml2-lib --with-xslt-lib --
platform=ruby
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
    invalid option: --with-xml2-lib
PS C:\devkit> gem install nokogiri --with-xml2-include --with-xslt-
include --platform=ruby
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OptionParser::InvalidOption)
    invalid option: --with-xml2-include
PS C:\devkit> gem install xml2 --platform=ruby

If you want to supply options to the gem compilation process, you to
do that after --:

gem install foo -- --with-my-lib

Also note that you need libxml2 headers and libraries to compile
against.

On a second comment, seems you're using PowerShell. Batch files that
modify the PATH might not work as expected inside PowerShell.

libxml2 is missing.  please visithttp://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html

If you check the installation instructions for Windows, it has already
provided a binary for it so you don't need to compile it.
