@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.

I am getting the following: ERROR: Unhandled exception: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/opt/unreal-engine/.vscode" is denied

This file does not exist.

@zerophase I already have, that's not the issue here; this isn't my first time compiling the engine.

@neko-san sign up for an Epic Games and Github account.

It failed to build for me during the mono dependencies collection stage?

If you want to use the system mono set the environment variable to UE_USE_SYSTEM_MONO=1. You can also turn on the features while building the package through the system build.

@neko-san I believe you need to set fish as an interactive shell, and set environment variables in bash or some other scripting language.

@zerophase I found info on it here: https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/set.html?highlight=export

However, I wouldn't know how that would affect the pkgbuild :/

I imagine it would be something like: set -gx LINUX_MULTIARCH_ROOT '/usr/sbin'?

I've tried to ask people about this subject in issues on Github before but I usually get rather confusing responses due to them always telling me I'm somehow "doing it wrong" without explaining too well exactly why.

@neko-san I have not used the fish shell. I would recommend reading their manual on how to export environment variables. I can edit the PKGBUILD as needed for you.

Neko-san commented on 2021-03-29 19:56 (UTC)

@zerophase I use the fish shell (it does environment variables weird), could you help me out real quick to do that properly if it's not too much trouble?

zerophase commented on 2021-03-29 07:02 (UTC)

@neko-san If you turn it on in the package you have to pass the argument -ForceUseSystemCompiler with GenerateProjectFiles.sh and make ARGS=-ForceUseSystemCompiler when run from the command line. You also need to set LINUX_MULTIARCH_ROOT as referenced in the PKGBUILD.
