## Dependency objects now have a get_variable method This is a generic replacement for type specific variable getters such as `ConfigToolDependency.get_configtool_variable` and `PkgConfigDependency.get_pkgconfig_variable`, and is the only way to query such variables from cmake dependencies. This method allows you to get variables without knowing the kind of dependency you have. ```meson dep = dependency('could_be_cmake_or_pkgconfig') # cmake returns 'YES', pkg-config returns 'ON' if ['YES', 'ON'].contains(dep.get_variable(pkg-config : 'var-name', cmake : 'COP_VAR_NAME', default_value : 'NO')) error('Cannot build your project when dep is built with var-name support') endif ```
