Running from stock ubuntu 14.04, with git and go installed.

The commands I followed from stock:

trusty-64:~$ sudo apt-get -y install git golang > /dev/null
trusty-64:~$ mkdir -p ~/sources/bin
trusty-64:~$ export GOPATH=~/sources
trusty-64:~$ export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
trusty-64:~$ go get github.com/lxc/lxd
trusty-64:~$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lxc/lxd
trusty-64:~/sources/src/github.com/lxc/lxd$ go build
trusty-64:~/sources/src/github.com/lxc/lxd$ ????
trusty-64:~/sources/src/github.com/lxc/lxd$ go build -x
WORK=/tmp/go-build043807985

the last command being explicit with what go build is doing, which is defining a variable called WORK and then doing nothing.

I would expect running go get ../... at some point or installing pkg-config

and presumably LXC should be on the system as well? sudo apt-get install lxc ?

or compile from source?

Yes, you're right that lxc needs to be installed. You can run 'make'
from the top level directory to build both binaries. I'll update the
docs accordingly. Thanks for the report!
