@surkuar 1) Do you have Devkit installed (ruby-debug/ruby-debug-ide#140 (comment))
Looks like you have an error about it: C:/Ruby24/lib/ruby/2.4.0/mkmf.rb:457:in try_do': The compiler failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError) You have to install development tools first. from C:/Ruby24/lib/ruby/2.4.0/mkmf.rb:588:in try_cpp'

2. Maybe installing the latest debase version(0.2.3.beta5) will be easier
