@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).

Testing to see if 4.17 builds.

I would update to 4.16.3, but 4.17 should be out tomorrow or Monday.

Sure, I made that the default since since it does build the package way faster although it does save about 3 GiB in package size so may be worth it for some people.

I think you should add options=(!strip) anyway because strip on all files is extremely slow. Maybe it's something I have installed, but I had to add it because stripping files took forever here.

@undefinedmethod I tried "ARGS=-no-pie" but that didn't work for me, I only got it to build after patching LinuxToolChain.cs.

zerophase commented on 2017-07-23 16:16 (UTC)

For the amd issues issues I'd check with Epic. There have been known issues with amd hardware and ue4 on Linux. @undefinedmethod not sure if that matters, since unreal has its own build system.

undefinedmethod commented on 2017-07-23 13:56 (UTC)

@acerix did you use make ARGS=-no-pie ?

I have the same problem. Mesa AMDGPU Kernel driver here

Hi, @acerix Thanks, successfully build. Unfortunately, it's doesn't run... i get an error *** Error in `./UE4Editor': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f8b456ea560 *** Looks like it doesn't run on AMDGPU driver.
