The problem is that the Makefile uses the current working directory to
setup the GOPATH. When you use 'sudo' the current working directory is
the home of the root user, hence the Makefile won't work. Please try to
run the build with a non-root user, just go into the the source
directory and type 'make build'.

You will also need to make sure that the user has docker permissions, if
you didn't do it yet. To do so just add it to the 'docker' group. For
example, in Fedora or RHEL:

  usermod -aG docker youruser

Note that once you do that you will need to re-login to make it effective.
