@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).

@Shatur that seemed to do the trick! Thanks so much! Is there a way for that step to be done in the PKGBUILD so it doesn't affect other users?

Also, do you know if any unofficial repos have a binary build of this package? That would be much appreciated since this build takes forever, (took around 7 hours).

@acxz, could you also try this: chmod -R a+rwX /opt/unreal-engine/Engine?

Shatur commented on 2020-01-26 21:45 (UTC)

@acxz, log. Please note that I changed /opt to /mnt/Files/Programs/Linux

Do you think it could be because of yay? I really doubt it tho. Can you show me the console output you get when launching UE4Editor. I would like to see what it should do.

Shatur commented on 2020-01-26 21:33 (UTC)

@acxz, it is very strange that this path is used, usually it should create files in /opt.

acxz commented on 2020-01-26 21:31 (UTC)

Since I don't want to go through the download again. I just renamed the folder. However, I am still getting the same error, with the same references to the /home/acxz/.cache/yay/unreal-engine path.

Shatur commented on 2020-01-26 21:14 (UTC)

@acxz, you don't need to run as with root previlegies. Try to remove /home/acxz/.cache/yay/unreal-engine/.

Why is the install trying to create a in /opt, shouldn't is be in $pkgbase/opt? https://gist.github.com/acxz/9b5fb820f330a2d86309ee263a79154b#file-ue4editor-launch-output-txt-L9

Yes, it's okay.

Trying to run it as sudo results in Refusing to run with root privileges. Do I need to add my user to a certain group?

@acxz, now you have something wrong with permissions.

acxz commented on 2020-01-26 20:44 (UTC) (edited on 2020-01-26 20:44 (UTC) by acxz)

Thanks, okay so now when I run /opt/unreal-engine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor again, I get the following a seg fault. Here is the console output: https://gist.github.com/acxz/9b5fb820f330a2d86309ee263a79154b
