I can't get this to work. With a clean git pull
and makepkg -sirc
, it errors out partway through on:
cp: cannot stat '$REPO/src/unreal-engine/LocalBuilds/Engine/Linux/*': No such file or directory
(the $REPO is just marking the path of the repo, somewhere in ~/Downloads, not literally in the output.)
There's a big scary red line just a bit further up:
Unhandled exception: One or more errors occurred. (The type initializer for 'UnrealBuildBase.Unreal' threw an exception.)
(I tried a bit more fiddling, e.g. creating that directory or putting a file in, but it just ends up hanging later on, with no error message and no CPU usage. I figure it's probably caused by the same problem.)

@juancarlospaco this is easily done on your own system, not in a PKGBUILD, given that building packages runs as root:
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).zerophase commented on 2021-05-27 08:15 (UTC) (edited on 2021-05-30 08:41 (UTC) by zerophase)
Will update to 5.0 when it is released.
