@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).

@Neko-san I tried looking around in the source files but couldn't find the issue. I think they might've just broke something in the build-system, or maybe something's wrong w/ my setup as I normally use unreal-engine-bin. For the time being, I'll just be returning to that.

@coolitic Try seeing if you can find where that log it's talking about might be in the src folder; I can't diagnose this from my end right now because of an issue with my ISP (I'm on my phone right now) but I'm trying to follow how the hell the built tool is failing there...

It clearly is still a valid option because it does start the Linux phase but then fails with hardly an explaination as to how, from what I'm seeing.

(Would be fantastic if Epic actually wrote meaningful error messages! Everything after that part is essentially gibberish because the build steps haven't changed since 5.0 so there shouldn't be a complaint about the SDK nor about missing files. Well, assuming the Linux build system itself isn't broken or the build steps changed without notification, anyway. :D)

****** [2/11] Compile UnrealEditor Linux

...

Platform Linux is not a valid platform to build. Check that the SDK is installed properly and that you have the necessary platorm support files (DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini, SDK.json, etc).
Took 0.37s to run dotnet, ExitCode=6
UnrealBuildTool failed. See log for more details.

This line 85:

# Valid values are false / disabled / default, auto, and native

if [ "${arch_auto}" != true ] && [ "${arch_auto}" != false ]; then
  arch_auto=false
fi

prevents using values: disabled, default, auto and native.

The default soft and hard max open file per process limit is too small for UE5 maps with world partition, so increase it if you get crashes loading maps or big asset packs.

No prob @Neko-san and thanks for the package !

@dsensy Sorry about that; i think I've made that versioning mistake before and I keep forgetting that Epic does their versioning this way

dsensy commented on 2023-09-08 21:14 (UTC)

Hello, I think the package version should be "5.3.0" because the branch 5.3-release does not exist.

@juancarlospaco You're missing the part where I mentioned that this permission issue is not solvable via the PKGBUILD. I've tried. If you encoubter such issues, edit the install location to somewhere you have user privileges by default. I've said this already in that same response.
