-
-        -   Make a shadow directory in the parent of the seq66 directory.
-        -   Change to it.
-        -   Run the new qbuild.sh script. It uses "sh" as the shell for
-            portability.
-        -   Read the make.log file for success or failure..
-
-    Although one user reported that "./configure" worked fine, on a FreeBSD
-    virtual machine, we first had to install autoconf, automake, pkgconf, and
-    gmake. Also had to edit the generated libtool script to change
-    the version from 2.4.7 to 2.4.6 to fool the build. The command needed to
-    configure was the following, including the command to make the code.
-    Also need to figure out why a "stopped" message appears in the
-    generated Makefiles, which breaks the build.
-
-    $ ./configure --with-alsa-prefix=/usr/local/lib
-            --with-alsa-inc-prefix=/usr/local/include
-    $ sh -c 'gmake >make.log 2>&1'

-    A raft of other issues have occurred with this method.
+    While FreeBSD can build Seq66, there are some issues that need to be
+    addressed. See contrib/notes/freebsd.text for complete information.
+    The recommended method of building Seq66 is discussed there. Basically,
+    after making sure all dependencies are installed, run the qbuild.sh script
+    and set up for usage of JACK. This advice is volatile.
