Adam B commented on MESOS-3040:
-------------------------------

The very first item in the "Before you submit" section of 
http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/submitting-a-patch/ is:
{code}
1. Check out the code from the Apache repository via Git. Instructions are on 
the Getting Started page.
{code}
The Getting Started page at http://mesos.apache.org/gettingstarted/ starts its 
"Building Mesos" by instructing you to
{code}
# Change working directory.
$ cd mesos

# Bootstrap (Only required if building from git repository).
$ ./bootstrap
{code}

If this is not clear enough, how do you propose we make it clearer? We don't 
want to duplicate build instructions on the submitting-a-patch page.

> When developer is using git to clone the mesos source code and want to build, 
> s/he need to run ./bootstrap first to generate some files such as configure,
