+== Building optional dependencies ==
+
+=== Libmagic ===
+Libmagic is not needed by modRana, but is required by Mieru and other ports to Android might also find it useful.
+
+First, get the actual sources for the File command (5.11 at the time of writing).
+
+Then configure and compile (don't forgett to replace all the <> quoted paths with valid ones):
+
+{{{
+# based on: http://mdqinc.com/blog/2011/09/cross-compiling-python-for-android/
+export ANDROID_NDK=<path to>/android-ndk
+export PATH="$ANDROID_NDK/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/:$ANDROID_NDK:$ANDROID_NDK/tools:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
+export ARCH="armeabi"
+export CFLAGS="-DANDROID -mandroid -fomit-frame-pointer --sysroot $ANDROID_NDK/platforms/android-14/arch-arm"
+export CXXFLAGS = "$CFLAGS"
+export CC="arm-linux-androideabi-gcc $CFLAGS"
+export CXX="arm-linux-androideabi-g++ $CXXFLAGS"
+export AR="arm-linux-androideabi-ar"
+export RANLIB="arm-linux-androideabi-ranlib"
+export STRIP="arm-linux-androideabi-strip --strip-unneeded"
+
+cd file-5.11
+
+make clean
+
+./configure --prefix=<path to some folder>/out --host=arm-eabi
+
+read -p "Press any key to continue... " -n1 -s
+
+make -j5
+make install
+}}}
+
+The result will be in the ''out'' folder, specified by the results path. Just pack them with you application and set the corresponding environmental variables accordingly. :)
