Failed to build gem native extension (Windows 10) for installing mini_racer and libv8-node

Tried using bundle exec jekyll serve to generate a website using jekyll and was returned:

Could not find gem 'mini_racer' in locally installed gems. Run bundle install to install missing gems.

So i did bundle install

and got this error:

An error occurred while installing libv8-node (18.16.0.0), and Bundler cannot
continue.

In Gemfile:
  mini_racer was resolved to 0.8.0, which depends on
    libv8-node

I've also tried gem install libv8 and was returned:

I've also tried gem update, which has shown that my gem is updated. Also did winget install ruby-dev, which just returned:

I use 'therubyracer' to replace the 'mini_racer' and successfully finish the 'bundle install' and 'bundle exec jekyll s' on the Windows system. Hope you take this davice.
