get/set_Var with libVLC, possible?

I'm developing an app (with Delphi) that uses libvlc.dll to play/stream videos. I would like to get access to the vlc variables to make things like enable/disable recording.
Is it possible to get/set vlc variables without compiling code into VLC?

libvlc_get_vlc_instance() returns the underlying VLC object. From there you can use the core VLC functions (from libvlccore library) such as var_Get/var_Set. However, you will need to rebuild your application with every new version. We don't maintain the libvlccore ABI.

How?
I tried to include vlc_common.h, vlc_variables.h and others but I always get a lot of errors.

libvlc_get_vlc_instance() was removed quite some time ago. It is no longer possible to change arbitrary internal variables.
