Subject: [ruby-core:69428] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11201] pkg_config NoMethodError when finding other -config program

Issue #11201 has been updated by Hans Mackowiak.

Priority changed from Normal to Low

i try to modify your possible patch a bit,
now it can parse the libs from the libflags again.

makes it work with wx-config and freetype-config

sdl2-config and xml2-config makes problems with "cflags-only-I" and "libs-only-l" because they do not return error so $?.success? does think the data is ok

where it does work (non-existing package)

~~~ruby
pkg_config("wx-bla", "version") # => nil 
pkg_config("wx-bla") #  => nil 
~~~

where it maybe not work (other (pkg)-config program)

~~~ruby
pkg_config("wx", "version") # => "3.1.0" 

pkg_config("wx") #either should try to return the same stuff as pkg_config("gtk+-x11-2.0") if possible, or if not return nil
