The instructions you see have been updated ahead of 4.18 which now uses gomod.
As you're building 4.17, you should look at the README that's included in that tarball instead.

The online version is at: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/tree/lxd-4.17#from-source-building-a-release

This should have the instructions on setting GOPATH such that the build can work.
