@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).

Ahh, I just tested and got the same result, GitHub must have changed something. I updated the PKGBUILD with viridiam's suggestion which fixed it.

@acerix uhh, I think I did as this works good: "[sms@assy-arch unreal-engine]$ ssh -T git@github.com Hi Dijuna! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access." And this: "[sms@assy-arch unreal-engine]$ git clone -b 4.12 git@github.com:EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git Cloning into 'UnrealEngine'... remote: Counting objects: 780922, done." Still the same error if I use your PKGBUILD. If I do what @veridiam said - everything's fine for now (just started downloading).

@Dijuna You can use an SSH key to authenticate with GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key/

How do I add my login and password? It won't download... "-> Cloning UnrealEngine git repo... Cloning into bare repository '/home/sms/Builds/unreal-engine/UnrealEngine'...

@viridiam What is the basis for that change? The only difference I notice is that I get an "is not a clone of" error meaning I would need to re-download the entire source.

can you please modify the line git+ssh://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git#tag=4.12.5-release to git+ssh://git@github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git#tag=4.12.5-release thanks!

@zerophase I ran into errors when trying to build 4.11 with clang 3.7, and I don't think 3.8 was supported until 4.12, so you probably need 3.5 to build it. Here's the old PKGBUILD if it helps: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=unreal-engine&id=2a319e41c91552823de05afc4f3f71d4e1261bd9

@acerix I just wanted to check if Clang 3.8 causes issues for Unreal 4.11. I have to role back my version for work.

@zerophase As I understand, `make` uses MAKEFLAGS from the environment, so that usage in linux-ck is redundant. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Options_002fRecursion.html Thanks for the info, I'll add back Source and Intermediate. I also ran into problems after cleaning up the install but didn't have a chance to track down what was missing yet. If someone wants the engine without that source, I think it would be best to move that to another package name (eg. like in the bitcoin package), but it seems pretty useless without the source, so I'll just include it for now.

@acerix On the linuk-ck package the make command is setup like so. "make ${MAKEFLAGS} LOCALVERSION= bzImage modules" I'm just wondering if without having ${MAKEFLAGS} specified explicitly in the build step, if the MAKEFLAGS setting is applied, or not to make. Just noticed the current pkgbuild doesn't copy the Source and Intermediate directory over. both are needed if writing C++ is desired. Could you add a bool to the start of the package that flags on adding the entire contents of the Source and Intermediate directories?
