+"yarac" is the official compiler for YARA rule files.
+See the project's page at GitHub for more information:

+    https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara
+
+Checker options~
+
+This checker is initialised using the "makeprgBuild()" function and thus it
+accepts the standard options described at |syntastic-config-makeprg|.
+
+Note~
+
+You probably also need to set |filetype| for YARA rule files to "yara".
+You can do that with an `:autocmd`: >
+    autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.yar,*.yara set filetype=yara syntax=yara
