I installed all the dependencies for creating new metricset with metricbeat(include Bison\Yacc). After running the "Make create-metricset" and "Make collect" successfully I tried to compile the beat with the "Make" command but it fails with the following errors: `y.tab.c:2405:7: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘yyerror’; did you mean ‘yyerrok’?

Can you try to run "make update-yacc-vendor"? ---

Is this a new issue @mtojek? I was trying to build filebeat from the `master` branch, and I hit the same issue. I don't recall running into this issue in the past. ---

I have to mention that I had to install yacc/bison manually before I ran the "make" command ---
