-NetBSD Build Guide
-======================
-**Updated for NetBSD [8.0](https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-8/NetBSD-8.0.html)**
+# NetBSD Build Guide
 
-This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on NetBSD.
+Updated for NetBSD [9.2](https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-9/NetBSD-9.2.html).
 
-This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
+This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on NetBSD.
 
-Preparation
--------------
+## Preparation
 
-You will need the following modules, which can be installed via pkgsrc or pkgin:
+### 1. Install Required Dependencies
+
+Install the required dependencies the usual way you [install software on NetBSD](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html#chap-boot-pkgsrc).
+The example commands below use `pkgin`.
+
+```bash
+pkgin install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config git gmake boost libevent
 
 ```
-autoconf
-automake
-boost
-git
-gmake
-libevent
-libtool
-pkg-config
-python37
 
-git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
+NetBSD currently ships with an older version of `gcc` than is needed to build. You should upgrade your `gcc` and then pass this new version to the configure script.
+
+For example, grab `gcc9`:
+```
+pkgin install gcc9
+```
+
+Then, when configuring, pass the following:
+```bash
+./configure
+    ...
+    CC="/usr/pkg/gcc9/bin/gcc" \
+    CXX="/usr/pkg/gcc9/bin/g++" \
+    ...
 ```
 
 See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
 
-### Building Bitcoin Core
+### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
 
-**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
+Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
 
-#### With descriptor wallet:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
+```
+
+### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
+
+#### Wallet Dependencies
+
+It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run bitcoind or the GUI.
+
+###### Descriptor Wallet Support
+
+`sqlite3` is required to enable support for [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md).
 
-The descriptor wallet uses `sqlite3`. You can install it using:
 ```bash
 pkgin install sqlite3
 ```
 
+###### Legacy Wallet Support
+
+`db4` is required to enable support for legacy wallets.
+
+```bash
+pkgin install db4
+```
+
+#### GUI Dependencies
+
+Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt5`.
+
+```bash
+pkgin install qt5
+```
+
+The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `qrencode`.
+
+```bash
+pkgin install qrencode
+```
+
+#### Test Suite Dependencies
+
+There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
+To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
+
+```bash
+pkgin install python37
+```
+
+### Building Bitcoin Core
+
+**Note**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
+
+
+### 1. Configuration
+
+There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core. Here is an example that
+explicitly disables the wallet and GUI:
+
 ```bash
 ./autogen.sh
-./configure --with-gui=no --without-bdb \
+./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no \
     CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
-    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
-    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
     MAKE=gmake
 ```
 
-#### With legacy wallet:
+For a full list of configuration options, see the output of `./configure --help`
 
-BerkeleyDB is use for legacy wallet functionality.
-
-It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library
-from ports.
-You can use [the installation script included in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh) like so:
-
-```bash
-./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
-```
-
-from the root of the repository. Then set `BDB_PREFIX` for the next section:
-
-```bash
-export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
-```
-
-```bash
-./autogen.sh
-./configure --with-gui=no CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
-    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
-    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
-    BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
-    BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \
-    MAKE=gmake
-```
-
-#### Without wallet:
-```bash
-./autogen.sh
-./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet \
-    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
-    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
-    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
-    MAKE=gmake
-```
+### 2. Compile
 
 Build and run the tests:
+
 ```bash
 gmake # use "-j N" here for N parallel jobs
-gmake check
+gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
 ```
