# autoPatchelfHook patches the binary to use the dynamic loader and "tells it" where all the libraries are that
# the program wants to dynamically load at runtime.
# This is necessary because NixOS doesn't have the linux typical static location where these libraries are placed,
# so the binary needs the correct paths to the nix store for each one.
# autoPatchelfHook propagates all the buildInputs so they are available at runtime.
