 There are two ways to build flang. The first method is to build it at the same
 time that you build all of the projects on which it depends. This is called
 building in tree. The second method is to first do an in tree build to create
-all of the projects on which flang depends, and then only build the flang code
-itself. This is called building standalone. Building standalone has the

 Note that instructions for building LLVM can be found at
 https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.
 
+All of the examples below use GCC as the C/C++ compilers and ninja as the build
+tool.

 ### Building flang in tree
 Building flang in tree means building flang along with all of the projects on
-which it depends.  These projects include mlir, clang, flang, and compiler-rt.
-Note that compiler-rt is only needed to access libraries that support 16 bit
-floating point numbers.  It's not needed to run the automated tests.
+which it depends.  These projects include mlir, clang, flang, openmp, and
+compiler-rt.  Note that compiler-rt is only needed to access libraries that
+support 16 bit floating point numbers.  It's not needed to run the automated
+tests.  You can use several different C++ compilers for most of the build,
+includig GNU and clang.  But building compiler-rt requres using the clang
+compiler built in the initial part of the build.
+
+Here's a directory structure that works.  Create a root directory for the
+cloned and built files.  Under that root directory, clone the source code
+into a directory called llvm-project.  The build will also
+create subdirectories under the root directory called build (holds most of
+the built files), install (holds the installed files, and compiler-rt (holds
+the result of building compiler-rt).
 
 Here's a complete set of commands to clone all of the necessary source and do
 the build.
 
-First clone the source:
+First, create the root directory and `cd` into it.

+cd root
+
+Now clone the source:
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git my-project
+git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
 ```

 ```bash
-cd my-project

 rm -rf build
-mkdir -p build
