I get the following error on running make inside libbeat

go build -ldflags "-X [github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.buildTime=2020-09-15T05:09:36Z](http://github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.buildTime=2020-09-15T05:09:36Z) -X [github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.commit=3435fe9f46e53708d3f658902c234ef2fea5b026](http://github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat/version.commit=3435fe9f46e53708d3f658902c234ef2fea5b026)"  
without -mod=vendor, directory /usr/local/go/src/github.com/visasimbu/iibbeat/vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/v7/libbeat has no package path  
make: \*\*\* [libbeat] Error 1

I'm confused on this as it has package paths and not path

I need more details here.

1. Which go version are you using?
2. What is your working directory (`pwd`)?

You definitely shouldn't build it from inside the vendor directory.

I'm not quite sure what are you trying to achieve. Are you fixing a bug in libbeat?
