I'm trying to build the deb package for Filebeat for ppc64le . I've followed the developer guide and setup a Go environment with Python 3.7, Mage, and Virtualenv on my system. When I navigate to beats/filebeat directory and run PLATFORMS=linux/ppc64le make release it says:
2020/03/26 13:41:58 Found Elastic Beats dir at /luke-perm/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats

It looks like it is not recognizing the value of PLATFORMS variable...
I also tried using the Docker cross-build container from https://github.com/elastic/golang-crossbuild to build for ppc64le on an x86 machine, but when I run:
docker run -it --rm \
-v $GOPATH/src/github.com/elastic/beats:/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats \
-w /go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/filebeat \
-e CGO_ENABLED=1 \
docker.elastic.co/beats-dev/golang-crossbuild:1.13.9-ppc \
--build-cmd "make release" \
-p "linux/ppc64le"
it complains about mage command not existing...
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
