-FreeBSD build guide
-======================
-(updated for FreeBSD 12.0)
-
-This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on FreeBSD.
-
-This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
-
-## Preparation
-
-You will need the following dependencies, which can be installed as root via pkg:
-
-```shell
-pkg install cmake libevent ninja openssl
-```
-
-### Optional libraries
-
-To enable UPnP:
-```shell
-pkg install miniupnpc
-```
-If not installed, UPnP support should be disabled by passing `-DENABLE_UPNP=OFF` to `cmake`.
-
-To enable ZeroMQ:
-```shell
-pkg install libzmq4
-```
-If not installed, ZeroMQ support should be disabled by passing `-DBUILD_BITCOIN_ZMQ=OFF` to `cmake`.
-
-In order to run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
-
-```shell
-pkg install python3
-```
-
-To run the ZeroMQ tests:
-```shell
-pkg install py36-pyzmq
-```
-
-For the wallet (optional):
-
-```shell
-pkg install db5
-```
-
-Download the source code:
-refer to [CONTRIBUTING](../CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions on how to clone the Bitcoin ABC repository
-
-## Building Bitcoin ABC
-
-With wallet:
-
-```shell
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake -GNinja -DBUILD_BITCOIN_QT=OFF ..
-ninja
-```
-
-Without wallet:
-
-```shell
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake -GNinja -DBUILD_BITCOIN_QT=OFF -DBUILD_BITCOIN_WALLET=OFF ..
-ninja
-```
