@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).

@pspkzar How would you suggest I do that? I could just rerun the GenerateProjectFiles.sh, but I believe that requires a full recompile anyways.

out of date UE4 is 4.19.2 and have many changes

Hello, since the last update, I got this error:

/opt/unreal-engine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor: error while loading shared libraries: libUE4Editor-UnrealEd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I use clang 6.0

Hi! Nice work on getting the compilation of the unreal engine 4 on archlinux. Would just like to point out that if there is is ever need to recompile some engine libs, such as when creating a new project, the instalation becomes corrupted because the project files are pointing to the directory where the package was compiled. Could you solve this by adding a post-installation routine that recreates the project files so that recompiles perform correctly? Thank you.

I am getting an error

Seeing if anything else is needed for clang 6.0 support. If anyone has gotten Unreal to compile on 6.0, and unreal manages to compile, but crashes when running, please let me know when it crashes.

@wxsabi clang5.0 should work for you still. Do you have an AMD graphics card by any chance? AMD has some problems with running Unreal, at least they used to.

For some reason, modifiying LinuxToolChain.cs didn't work for me. I was able to install and run it successfully by downgrading to clang3.8 and llvm3.8 from the archive, in my case for a 64bit arch, like:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/c/clang/clang-3.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/llvm-libs/llvm-libs-3.8.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Once it installed and I made sure it worked I just upgraded back both packages.

Currently does not compile with clang 6.0.

Need to modify Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/Platform/Linux/LinuxToolChain.cs line 105(there was a patch for clang5 previously so pretty much the same thing)

Tested, the engine starts fine with current patch with above modification(I did not make it nice, just functional - hency why no patch from me)

After the git clone, I have an error "Setup.sh permission denied", any idea?

EDIT: I was building on an NTFS disk with bad permission / umask set in /etc/fstab (without the executable bit)

wolfyrion commented on 2018-03-18 09:13 (UTC)

Finally success!

After fixing the problem I had with lld I deleted all the packages,sources and unreal-engine folder from AUR temp folder. After that building and installing package was a success.
