@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).

Will update to 5.0 when it is released.

@zerophase, What do you mean? *Edit: I checked the package() section, and it just seems like a different way of doing things from stock. I simply ./Setup..., ./Generate..., make, then move to /opt/.

zerophase commented on 2021-03-12 13:14 (UTC)

@odinvex yeah, what you're talking about is a different issue from makepkg processing the files to install. This happens after compilation.

@zerophase, I used this pkg on a trial-install of Manjaro (switched to EndeavourOS) and at the time I used it through yay, but I've since gone to GitHub extracts and manually compiling. On my laptop it takes only 4 minutes to compile (excluding download-times) with my 8C16T@3GHz+32GB, but I also use an 2TB NVME SSD with 3.5GB/s read and 3GB/s write. I don't find UnrealEngine compiles really that slowly. Main rig (far better specs still) gets it done a little faster too, despite a RAM bottleneck.

@odinvex are you installing with makepkg? There's a ton of unnecessary files in a few folders that get generated first launch anyways. Would speed up stripping too. Unreal is getting much larger with each release.

@zerophase, My compilation straight from GitHub takes only 4 minutes on my Ryzen laptop. This includes the intermediate folder and a few plugins. (*Edit: Ignoring download-times.) I guess I'm not one to mind leaving it as is. Things still must compile to be used, anyway.

zerophase commented on 2021-03-12 12:22 (UTC)

I can try speeding up the install process by not installing the intermediate folder. You'll have to regenerate it when you start Unreal, but a lot of files slowing the install should be decreased.

@niqingliang2003, This is out-dated. Wait for an update or manually edit things to load the new archive.

Does the freezing problem have been solved? freeze every 3 seconds, maybe related with SDL.
