Ruby on Rails new app creation failing on Windows

I'm new to Ruby on Rails, and am trying to make an app. I ran rails new myApp, and it ran into a problem when installing byebug.

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

C:/Ruby21/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb

make "DESTDIR=" clean

make failed, exit code 2

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Ruby21/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/byebug-4.0.5 for inspection.
Results logged to C:/Ruby21/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/extensions/x86-mingw32/2.1.0/byebug-4.0.5/gem_make.out
An error occurred while installing byebug (4.0.5), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install byebug -v '4.0.5'` succeeds before bundling.

So it looks like the compiler is treating warnings as errors, and byebug has a warning? And I need to configure the compiler to not treat warnings as errors?

You should try to uninstall/reinstall DevKit for Windows as MarsAtomic adviced.
For Mac what worked for me was running
xcode-select --install
and specifying github: 'deivid-rodriguez/byebug' for byebug in Gemfile (not sure that it's necessary though).
