Make fails for Examplebeat on Debian 8

Elastic Stack Beats

Hi everyone

I followed the manual on how to create your own beat (examplebeat/countbeat), but I got stuck on the make part on a Debian 8 system. I got the following errors:

root@bamboojessie:~/go/src/github.com/dcroonen/examplebeat# make

make: *** [examplebeat] Error 1

The $GOPATH environment variable is set to /root/go. The 'missing' packages are there but they are located in a different directory. For example golang.org/x/net/context is present in:

/root/go/src/github.com/dcroonen/examplebeat/vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/golang.org/x/net/context

OR

/root/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats/vendor/golang.org/x/net/context

Anybody any ideas how to solve this?

P.S.: I followed the same manual a few weeks ago on my mac and everything worked straight out of the box.

Whats $ go version saying. The golang.org/x/net/context package is somewhat outdated, as context has been moved to the stdlib.

OK nervermind go version was go1.3.3 linux/amd64.
