+Dependencies
+============
+
+FreeType dependency is needed for dlangui, as well as D runtime for android
+
+1\) Build D runtime with LDC 
+(should this be done inside LDC install folder?)
+
+For this and the next tasks ninja and cmake build systems is needed, 
+refer to https://wiki.dlang.org/Build_D_for_Android for more info
+
+
+```
+set CC %ANDROID_HOME%\ndk-bundle\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\clang.exe
+ldc-build-runtime --ninja --targetPreset=Android-arm --dFlags="-w;-mcpu=cortex-a8" --buildDir=droid32
+```
+
+2\) Download and build FreeType
+
+on Windows just run ./get_ft.ps1 && ./build_ft.bat
+
+currently there is no scripts for Linux so you have to adapt those manually
+
+then copy the binaries to your project android libs/ folder
