I tried to build beats on Solaris 11.2 x86. - Version: (commit) 56a029633a00b8fc19c4ad00cab42d63ab7ac138 - Operating System: SunOS goshawk 5.11 11.2 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris - golang: go1.6.1 solaris/amd64 I cloned repository from git and ran make in beats directory. ```auto $ gmake (snip) docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build bash: docker-compose: command not found make[3]: *** [build-image] Error 127 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ryumei/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat' make[2]: *** [integration-tests-environment] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ryumei/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat' make[1]: *** [testsuite] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ryumei/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat' make: *** [testsuite] Error 1 ``` The error caused by absece of docker-compose. For now docker-compose cannot run on Solaris. At a minimum I would like to chenge TEST\_ENVIRONMENTS of libbeats/Makefile to false for Solaris and to evade errors of sub-sequent tests, I deployed an elasticsearch and a kafka on localhost. Some hypervisors such as Oracle VirtualBox brings to execute test for various environments. However it may be not a reasonable solution. ---

We do not support Solaris as it has no go compiler. ---

[Go supports Solaris](https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment) but not Docker. Disabling Docker-dependent tests for non-supported platforms sounds like a reasonable idea. Until that's been done (if ever) it should be possible to only run the make goal for building the various beats. ---

Thank you warkolm and magnusbaeck. I know that Solaris (x86 and SPARC) are not officially supported. I have tried to build and run them on various envs. P.S. Elasticsearch and Logstash v5.0.0-alpha work my x86-Solaris box with Oracle JVM. ---

there are 3 types of tests in beats. Only integration tests (in libbeat to test outputs) and system tests require docker to setup some kind of testing infrastructure. The unit tests (run `$ go test ./...`) do not require docker. Just run `$ make build` or `$ go build` in each beats directory should build the executable. ---
