Currently does not compile with clang 6.0.
Need to modify Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/Platform/Linux/LinuxToolChain.cs line 105(there was a patch for clang5 previously so pretty much the same thing)
Tested, the engine starts fine with current patch with above modification(I did not make it nice, just functional - hency why no patch from me)
After the git clone, I have an error "Setup.sh permission denied", any idea?
EDIT: I was building on an NTFS disk with bad permission / umask set in /etc/fstab (without the executable bit)
Finally success!
After fixing the problem I had with lld I deleted all the packages,sources and unreal-engine folder from AUR temp folder. After that building and installing package was a success.
@moadib Thanks that helped !
but I got another error
[1428/1429] Link (ld) libUE4Editor-WorldBrowser.so ERROR: UBT ERROR: Failed to produce item: /mnt/EMU/AUR/unreal-engine/src/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/Linux/libUE4Editor-LinuxNoEditorTargetPlatform.so Total build time: 782.50 seconds (Local executor: 0.00 seconds) make: *** [Makefile:188: UE4Editor] Error 5
@wolfyrion you can solve this problem by installing lld
I am getting :

During compilation.
I also encountered the issue that @fghdfvvsd had - using the 4.18.3 release.
It installed fine, but on the compile for a new c++ project it failed at building UE4Editor.so, and then the editor wouldn't start up again at all.
I wonder if this is due to using clang 5.0.1?
Has anyone figured out how to compile source code plugins easily to use on projects? Especially blueprint-only projects.
For people trying to build this and getting a mono error saying "Magic number is wrong: 542", this is currently a bug in mono with ncurses 6.1: https://github.com/mono/mono/issues/6752
The solution is to "export TERM=xterm" before trying to make this package.

@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
777permissions. 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.
