# ==============================================================================
# SCRIPT: setup_host_build_env.sh
# PURPOSE: Prepares a Void Linux host environment for cross-architecture ISO builds.
#
# This script automates several setup steps required on the host machine
# when building ISO images for architectures different from the host (e.g.,
# building aarch64 or i686 ISOs on an x86_64 host).
#
# What this script does:
# 1. Updates the host's package list.
# 2. Installs necessary 32-bit libraries (like lzo, libgcc, readline) on the
#    x86_64 host. These are required if you execute 32-bit tools (like mksquashfs
#    or xorriso from bootstrap environments) directly on the host system.
#    NOTE: If you configure your build script to run these tools *inside*
#    the target chroot environment using 'chroot' or 'xbps-uchroot', these
#    32-bit host libraries might not be strictly necessary for *that specific*
#    reason, but are often needed by other host tools.
# 3. Installs QEMU user mode emulators, including the one for aarch64.
# 4. Ensures the 'binfmt_misc' kernel module is loaded and its filesystem is
#    mounted. This kernel feature allows executing binaries for foreign
#    architectures using emulators like QEMU.
# 5. Registers the installed QEMU user emulators with the kernel's binfmt_misc
#    interface, enabling the execution of foreign binaries (like aarch64
#    executables) via QEMU emulation when run in a chroot or similar environment.
#
# PREREQUISITES:
# - A Void Linux host system.
# - An active internet connection to download packages.
# - sudo privileges to install packages and configure system settings.
#
# USAGE:
# 1. Save this code to a file (e.g., setup_host_build_env.sh).
# 2. Make the file executable: chmod +x setup_host_build_env.sh
# 3. Run the script with sudo: sudo ./setup_host_build_env.sh
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE:
# This script ONLY sets up the HOST environment. It DOES NOT modify your
# iso_builder.py script. You STILL NEED to modify your iso_builder.py script
# to:
# - Execute cross-architecture commands (like xbps-install for bootstrap,
#   mksquashfs, xorriso) *inside* the target rootfs or bootstrap environment
#   using 'sudo chroot /path/to/target/rootfs <command>' or 'xbps-uchroot'.
# - Ensure the correct repository URLs for the target architecture are used
#   in your xbps-install commands within the script.
