@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).

Does the freezing problem have been solved? freeze every 3 seconds, maybe related with SDL.

Updated to 4.25.4 I also disabled strip option by default.

@Dejz, thanks, added openssh to makedepends. But I have no idea why you can't clone it manually :( Try to check commands from PKGBUILD.

@jedrzejowski, thanks, fixed.

EDIT: Fixed by using aur sync -c unreal-engine --bind=/home/<USER>/.ssh/:/build/.ssh/ and adding openssh to makedepends.

I'm having trouble building the package with aurutils in a clean chroot.

First, I had to add openssh to makedepends, otherwise I would get

error: cannot run ssh: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to fork

Now I get

==> ERROR: You must register at unrealengine.com and link your github account to access this private repo. See the wiki for more info: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unreal_Engine_4
==> ERROR: Build failed, check /var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64/<USER>/build

because my ssh key under ~/.ssh/ is not recognized. I can manually clone the repository just fine. Any ideas how to fix this?

If anybody is annoyed by missing desktop entry in gnome menu, you can edit /usr/share/applications/com.unrealengine.UE4Editor.desktop:

 Name=Unreal Engine 4 Editor
 Comment=Create next-generation video games
 Path=/opt/unreal-engine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/
-Exec=UE4Editor %F
+Exec=/opt/unreal-engine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor %F
 MimeType=text/x-uproject
 Icon=ue4editor
 Terminal=false

When downloading the dependencies before the build, the download tends to break and you have to start again. If I compile UE4 by hand, its all good, I can just start over. But the package install dies at that moment and upon restart deletes what it has downloaded so far. So I am not able to finish that step and have the package installed.

Does anybody have these problems? https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/hokp2t/unreal_engine_4_crashes_desktop/, I can't work now :(

well, it seems that it compile perfectly, the problem was that I had downloaded the master branch which was the 4.25.1 under development and it was broke. now I have downloaded the 4.25.1 stable release in Ubuntu and the Setup.sh downloaded the dependencies without issues, then I am compiling in Arch perfectly!
