@juancarlospaco this is easily done on your own system, not in a PKGBUILD, given that building packages runs as root:

sudo groupadd unrealengine-users
sudo usermod -aG unrealengine-users (your-username)
sudo chown -R root:unrealengine-users /opt/unreal-engine
sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/unreal-engine

Permission issues like this are already mentioned on the UE Arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unreal_Engine_4#Installing_from_the_AUR

This is a user system problem; I already did what I could without needing users to do the above by giving the 777 permissions. If it still gives you trouble, you'll have to use the example to solve it or change the install location to somewhere you have user permissions by default (as I cannot do this for you).

This doesn't build successfully for me via paru, it errors out near the end (after spending 3h+...) with the following error:

==> Starting package()...
install: cannot stat 'LICENSE.md': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
error: failed to build 'unreal-engine-5.2.1-1': 
error: packages failed to build: unreal-engine-5.2.1-1

I apologize if this is something obvious or if there's a comment here that I've missed, but I'd love a little direction here.

@k1gen Don't assume that because you can use Vulkan that it is entirely bug-free, let alone implemented entirely. It could also be Unreal Engine, that was very true for initial v5 and late v4.20+ versions. Have a good day.

@OdinVex: I play lots of light games on dxvk, so Intel's iGPUs work fine with vulkan. but that's a little off-topic, please ping me if you have any solution for this issue I'm having. have a good day :)

@thoth Indeed, Steam creates its own correct symlinks. That was why I was baffled as to why this AUR goes out of its way to make the links. I ran into the 'no CPP' issue with a BP-only build (I use BP until reasonably complete, then CPP the project)! This is why I started manual compiles instead.

@k1gen Intel can claim anything it wants. I knew years ago they were bs, long before Meltdown, Spectre, etc. Intel Graphics has always sucked and most likely always will. They have “full OpenGL” support, but it sucks. If you can do a vkcube without crashing, it's most likely already 'Intel' 'working'.

thoth commented on 2023-06-24 09:53 (UTC)

In any case, this line:

 ln -s "${HOME}/.steampath" "${HOME}/.steam/bin"

creates a new symlink here /home/user/.steam/bin/.steampath which is NOT /home/user/.steampath which is the original symlink created by steam. Why are we creating new broken symlinks that are not created by steam? This does not make sense.

Furthermore, when I install the pkg created by this repo I am unable to create cpp projects regardless of whether I apply the chowns in the pinned posts:

@OdinVex: well, UHD 620 has full vulkan support, so it's just a matter of time to get it working (I think). I found similar issues on Unreal's forum, but most of the posts were unanswered, so either I get help here or leave this thing. don't say no one here launched UE on iGPU :)

@k1gen That error in particular wouldn't be related to the AUR at all, unfortunately. Intel doesn't do well at all with anything graphics-related. AMD or Nvidia. You may need to search elsewhere for this one. :/ The HD 620 is a very low-end GPU, sadly.

well, I passed the compilation step after two days, but unreal is crashing on startup: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/d1823ae21057. I have a laptop with i5-8350U + UHD 620 with 24Gb of RAM, and vulkan is working flawlessly. I gotta go sleep now, be back in ~8 hours. here's full log from running unreal-engine-5.sh: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/276022467ed6. thanks in advance for your time

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-23 21:40 (UTC)

@k1gen Glad it's all worked out for you.

seqfault commented on 2023-06-23 21:40 (UTC)

@OdinVex: yeah, I can do a pacman -U, will clear yay cache now. thanks again :)
