Elastic Stack Beats

Hi,

I am trying to create a new beat in Windows and it fails when I run the make command. I get the below error

C:\Users\anjana\go\src\github.com\Anjana\xstorebeat>make setup
C:\Users\anjana\go\bin\mage.exe
panic: failed determine libbeat dir location: failed to find github.com/elastic/beats/dev-tools/mage in the project's vendor

goroutine 1 [running]:

Beats development is not well supported on windows. All this process is best focused on linux environments. This happened to me and was the only way i found to solve it.
