 ### Building with LMS Support
 
 LMS/HSS support in wolfCrypt requires the hash-sigs library ( https://github.com/cisco/hash-sigs ).
-The hash-sigs repo should be cloned to the `src` dir here
+Use the following procedure to prepare hash-sigs for building with wolfBoot:
 
 ```
-$ls lib/hash-sigs/
-lib  src
+$ cd lib
+$ mkdir hash-sigs
+$ls
+ CMakeLists.txt  hash-sigs  wolfssl  wolfTPM
+$ cd hash-sigs
+$ mkdir lib
+$ git clone https://github.com/cisco/hash-sigs.git src
+$ cd src
+$ git checkout b0631b8891295bf2929e68761205337b7c031726
+$ git apply ../../../tools/lms/0001-Patch-to-support-wolfBoot-LMS-build.patch
 ```
 
-and checked out at this commit
-```
-b0631b8891295bf2929e68761205337b7c031726
-```
-
-In the file `sha256.h` update the `USE_OPENSSL` define to
-```
-#define USE_OPENSSL 0
-```
-
-Build hash-sigs with
-```
-$make hss_lib.a
-$make hss_verify.a
-```
-
-and place the built static libs here:
-```
-$ls lib/hash-sigs/lib/
-hss_lib.a  hss_verify.a
-```
+Nothing more is needed, as wolfBoot will automatically produce the required
+hash-sigs build artifacts.
 
 Note: the hash-sigs project only builds static libraries:
 - hss_verify.a: a single-threaded verify-only static lib.
 - hss_lib.a: a single-threaded static lib.
 - hss_lib_thread.a: a multi-threaded static lib.
 
-The keytools utility links against `hss_lib.a` as it needs full
-keygen, signing, and verifying functionality, while wolfBoot
-links with `hss_verify.a` as it needs verify functionality only.
+The keytools utility links against `hss_lib.a`, as it needs full
+keygen, signing, and verifying functionality. However wolfBoot
+links directly with the subset of objects in the `hss_verify.a`
+build rule, as it only requires verify functionality.
