+# dependency() uses Meson's internal logic and generally relies on pkg-config or CMake,
+# but Meson can also use the project's compiler to find a library in the compiler's search
+# path. Not in the dependency() function, though. You have to use compiler.find_library(),
+# and Meson doesn't have a way to tell dependency() to simply fallback to find_library().
+# It *does* however allow dependency() to fallback to a variable defined in a subproject,
+# Hence: this file.
+
+# For some reason, these specific components of the AWS C++ SDK aren't found by CMake when
+# compiling statically, and `pkgsStatic.aws-sdk-cpp` doesn't even have a pkg-config at all.
