Fraser Adams created QPID-4699:
----------------------------------

             Summary: C++ INSTALL instructions might be clearer if the 
"Building from a Source Distribution" was moved to the top.
                 Key: QPID-4699
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4699
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Fraser Adams
            Priority: Minor


With the INSTALL instructions in <qpid>/cpp the "Building from a Source
Distribution" instructions are fairly near the bottom.

I kind of see the logic of that since the earlier sections are describing 
prerequisites, but I wonder if it's worth moving the main install bit closer to 
the top with a line that says something like "If you have not installed qpid 
previously see prerequisites below".

Similarly section "2.2.2. From Source" might be better in the prerequisites 
section rather than the install section, I think that's particularly worthwhile 
now because 2.2.2 is talking about an automake build for
the dependencies and the qpid install is now cmake. I know that I did a double 
take when I skimmed through and assumed that the instructions hadn't been 
updated for cmake until I read again.
