@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).

@Neko-san While your pinned method of setting permissions will technically work, it will break pacman permissions. (In my opinion,) a more preferred method would be to set an access control list to let members of the newly created group write into the unreal-engine folder. Just like how you setup Android Studio on Arch Linux. (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Android#Making_/opt/android-sdk_group-writeable)

# groupadd unreal-engine
# gpasswd -a <user> unreal-engine
# setfacl -R -m g:unreal-engine:rwx /opt/unreal-engine
# setfacl -d -m g:unreal-engine:rwX /opt/unreal-engine

This will maintain root:root disk permissions, thus matching the permissions in the package file and making pacman happy, while also giving the group unreal-engine rwx access to /opt/unreal-engine. But hey, you know, that's just like uh, my opinion, man.

Thanks, all, this successfully builds and installs now! It complains about other stuff once running, but I'm betting there's some permissions stuff I need to fiddle with, so I'll refer to the wiki for next steps.

Thanks again!!

@Neko-san I only saw (even after refreshing) 376e1761a6adfb7d7a46d029e35cb329cc7ea101, but the new stuff is there, I see it now.

No, it looks like it updated the PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=unreal-engine&id=6dd6ce046f4c696065e9c1e7f91600e0ca379365

Neko-san commented on 2023-07-07 08:44 (UTC)

Uhhhh, weird; I'll take a look

OdinVex commented on 2023-07-07 08:43 (UTC)

@neko-san That push only updated rel. Forgot to git add the PKGBUILD?

OdinVex commented on 2023-07-07 08:37 (UTC)

@neko-san Yeah, find was a bit...nuke-like. xD

Neko-san commented on 2023-07-07 08:36 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I see it; I'll correct that

Neko-san commented on 2023-07-07 08:31 (UTC)

I updated the PKGBUILD to solve that issue by finding the license by using find instead; I've never had the problem you've described but this should more reliable.
