+### Building VMF (FreeBSD)
+
+Install dependencies for the build with `pkg install curl cmake gmake`. 
+
+When building and installing AFL++, support for FreeBSD has been merged into the official repository. The most recent tested commit is e33e7cd4f4b1da9cc76c19b7766deea790a2c5ee.
+
+Execute the following commands to build and install VMF. Note the use of the `gmake` command instead of `make`, the BSD make is incompatible and the GNU make must be used.
+
+*Note: The -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX may be used to optionally specify an install location other than the default (build/vmf_install).*
+
+```bash
+# from /path/to/vmf/ directory:
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+#Or optionally use this version instead to specify an install path
+#cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<your install path here> ..
+gmake install -j8
+```
+
 ### Running VMF
 VMF can be run in a standalone mode, with a single fuzzing instance, as well as in a distributed mode where multiple VMF instances work together to fuzz something.
