            Bug ID: 780657
           Summary: meson: Use dep.get_pkgconfig_variable()
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

     GNOME version: ---

We currently uses the pkg-config command line directly, which isn't very nice
(at least in tests/check). We should probably use the new
get_pkgconfig_variable() method on the dep object.

Note that meson may need to be extended, since the get_pkgconfig_variable()
does not allow setting a variable. An example is for bash completion, we set
prefix, in order to transform the returned value. With current meson, we'd have
to get the prefix, and variable, subtract the prefix and add the configured
prefix.
