Not able to install the manageiq-messaging gem

[Dhamo1107]

1. I tried to set up the development environment for the ManageIQ repository. After cloning the repository, I ran the bundle install command, but the manageiq-messaging gem failed to install and showed an error related to librdkafka. Then, I tried to install the rdkafka gem, but I encountered an error with that as well.

2. Steps to reproduce:

bundle install

Thanks for the details @Dhamo1107 - looks like rdkafka is where the breakdown occurs. I do see that librdkafka, the underlying C/C++ library is portable and should support Windows, but rdkafka doesn't support WIndows at the moment. See this issue: karafka/rdkafka-ruby#188. So, at this point, someone would need to add Windows support to rdkafka. It might be useful to comment in that issue expressing interest, but they will likely ask for contributions over building it themselves.

Thanks for the Information @Fryguy

@Dhamo1107 After certain tests, still giving problems, unfortunately fix it is out of my "Windows" knowledge right now.
