It is failing to compile mysql2 gem due missing headers and libraries.

Please take a look to this blog posts:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/

Which describes the installation instructions for MySQL and mysql gem on 
Windows.

You can install mysql2 gem following the same instructions, jsut change 
the occurrences of mysql for mysql2.

The only part that will not work is the test example.

Note: it assumes you have RubyInstaller and the DevKit installed, if not 
and you don't want to deal with the installation instructions, please 
use RailsInstaller instead:

http://railsinstaller.org/

Hope that helps,
