For detailed build instruction refer to INSTALL and man lxc man page
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && sudo make install
preceded by ./autogen.sh if configure do not exist yet.
+Troubleshooting:
+
+ If you get an error message at the autogen.sh or configure stage, make
+ sure you have, autoconf, automake, pkg-config, make and gcc installed on
+ your machine.
+
+ The configure script will usually give you hints as to what you are missing,
+ looking for those in your package manager will usually give you the package
+ that you need to install.
+
+ Also pay a close attention to the feature summary showed at the end of
+ the configure run, features are automatically enabled/disabled based on
+ whether the needed development packages are installed on your machine.
+ If you want a feature but don't know what to install, force it with
+ --enable-<feature> and look at the error message from configure.
