 TSTORMS comprises two codes, one for storm detection (``tstorms_driver``) and another
 for generating trajectories (``trajectory_analysis``).
-The code is built using Make and requires a Fortran compiler (ifort default recommended)
-and an installation of NetCDF.
+The code is built using Make and requires a Fortran compiler and an installation of
+NetCDF.
 The steps are summarised here::
 
     git clone https://github.com/Cambridge-ICCS/TSTORMS.git
     cd TSTORMS/
     cd tstorms_driver/
-    make
+    make FC=gfortran
     cd ../trajectory_analysis/
-    make
+    make FC=gfortran
 
 This will clone the TSTORMS code and then then build the two TSTORMS executables using
 Make.
-Using a different compiler requires modification to both
-``tstorms_driver/mkmf_template`` and ``trajectory_analysis/mkmf_template``
-to set ``FC``, ``LD``, and any associated flags appropriately.
-This will be required if building with gfortran or Intel oneAPI compilers >= 2025 (ifx).
+``ifort`` or ``ifx`` can also be used for the compilation. Any other compilers will
+require modification to both ``tstorms_driver/mkmf_template`` and
+``trajectory_analysis/mkmf_template``.
 
 Once this is complete the TSTORMS executables can then be found at
 ``/path/to/TSTORMS_installation/tstorms_driver/tstorms_driver.exe`` and
