@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.

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.

@moadib Thanks that helped !

but I got another error

@wolfyrion you can solve this problem by installing lld

During compilation.

I also encountered the issue that @fghdfvvsd had - using the 4.18.3 release.

It installed fine, but on the compile for a new c++ project it failed at building UE4Editor.so, and then the editor wouldn't start up again at all.

I wonder if this is due to using clang 5.0.1?

faemir commented on 2018-03-01 16:07 (UTC)

Has anyone figured out how to compile source code plugins easily to use on projects? Especially blueprint-only projects.

BombStrike commented on 2018-02-21 03:25 (UTC)

For people trying to build this and getting a mono error saying "Magic number is wrong: 542", this is currently a bug in mono with ncurses 6.1: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752

The solution is to "export TERM=xterm" before trying to make this package.

@blastofftek Yes, using the release archive is way more efficient, but I don't know of any way to download that automatically in the PKGBUILD since the repo is private. You can download the release file in advance, then edit the "source" in the PKGBUILD to point to the local file, as suggested in the wiki:

@jimmy00784 Package works fine, but the repo is private, please refer to Wiki:
