windowsでのmysql2のgemインストール

windowsにてmysql2のgemインストールを行いたいのですがうまくいきません。

gem install mysql2

を入力すると、

================================================================================
======================

  You've installed the binary version of mysql2.
  It was built using MySQL Connector/C version 6.1.11.
  It's recommended to use the exact same version to avoid potential issues.

  At the time of building this gem, the necessary DLL files were retrieved from:

  http://cdn.mysql.com/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-6.1.11-win32.zip

  This gem *includes* vendor/libmysql.dll with redistribution notice in vendor/R
EADME.

とうまくいったように見えますが、

ridgepole -c database.yml -E development --apply --dry-run -f fuel/app/schema/config

と入力すると、

Failed to load libmysql.dll from C:/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/mysql2-0
.5.2-x64-mingw32/vendor/libmysql.dll

とエラーが返ってきます。

なので、mysql connectorの64bit版をダウンロードして、

gem install mysql2 --platform=ruby -- '--with-mysql-lib="C:\mysql-connector\lib" --with-mysql-include="C:\mysql-connector\include"'

そのコネクタを見てmysql2をダウンロードするようにしてみたのですが、

という結果が返ってきて、mysql2のインストールに失敗します。

どなたか解決策はございませんでしょうか。
やっぱりmacでないと動かないのでしょうか。

よろしくお願いいたします。
