Hello, when I'm trying to make protologbeat, I get these errors:

make: \*\*\* [libbeat] Error 1

Is there any solution to avoid these cycle error  
(I use golang 1.8)

I didn't have any issues building protologbeat. I did a clean build in docker and it worked.

`docker run --rm golang:1.8.3 sh -c "go get [github.com/hartfordfive/protologbeat](http://github.com/hartfordfive/protologbeat) && protologbeat -h"
