@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).

pkgrel=25 Works, thanks to everyone that contributed!!.

Good, then; I added you to the contributors list, by the way, for helping out with the packaging function

shawarden commented on 2022-12-09 19:57 (UTC)

That seems to work. Both with git / makepkg and with yay.

Sorry about that, I misinterpreted something I read on how to prevent a Bash SC2115 warning:

pkgrel=24 Errors:

rm: cannot remove 'unreal-engine/src/unreal-engine/*$': No such file or directory

Looks like a stray $ found its way onto the end of L217

Neko-san commented on 2022-12-09 01:38 (UTC)

Interesting, I didn't know that. I wasn't really familiar with hardlinks, only symlinks.

I'll use that, then; I'll update it in a moment

shawarden commented on 2022-12-09 01:28 (UTC)

cp -l creates hardlinks so no data duplication occurs. rming the file's duplicate inode does not remove the file, only that inode.

Neko-san commented on 2022-12-09 01:16 (UTC)

I was already aware that using cp was a "better" alternative here for packaging than mv in this circumstance, but I can't permit it to be what's used for everyone by default because the engine is massive as-is and doing this would quickly cause people with "just enough" storage space to compile the engine to suddenly not have enough just because the packaging function doubles the engine size before makepkg is done. Unfortunately, there needs to be a better solution.

Also, thanks for pointing out the issue with the launching mechanism; that's what I get for being half-asleep when I wrote that... Lol
