If you want menu-based configuration, just run

./configure
make

or for automation reasons: 1) If you need all drivers, provided by lirc

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-driver=all
make

2) Run

./configure --help

and choose a driver(s), you want. After for example run (serial port chosen):

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-driver=serial
make

Install the package

make install
