@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 Thanks for the changes. You new version looks good, so I just updated and added you as a maintainer.

I had the same issue as kro007 from 2017-08-08 08:29 UE4 would install but upon running it would freeze my system necessitating a hard reboot It appears to be an issue with Mesa 17 and my R280X (not sure if any other cards are impacted) Fix is simply to LD_PRELOAD the elf lib so: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libelf.so ./UE4Editor or LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libelf.so.1 ./UE4Editor And I'm up and running More information is here https://answers.unrealengine.com/answers/677855/post.html and here: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/699804/system-freezes-when-using-ati-gpu.html?childToView=701614#answer-701614

I've been waiting for 2 hours looking at this https://i.imgur.com/7BCoViT.png is it normal? Update: finally some progress

I suggest some changes in PKGBUILD: 1) Add commented source code accessors from wiki (this makes installation of code accessor easy, just need to uncomment lines for choosed DE): https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Running_On_Linux#Source_Code_Accessors 2) Add variable $dir which by default set to 'opt/$pkgname'. This makes installation easy on another directory (to another hard drive, for example). 3) Switch from 'cp -r' to 'mv' to reduce the required size for installation and move some lines upper then '# engine' section to make it works. Could you check my changes? https://pastebin.com/C70eauR1 P.S. In my paste I also switched unreal version from 4.17.0 to 4.17.1

@boblehest it's my understanding that the arch packaging tools don't support shallow clones.

boblehest commented on 2017-08-16 20:55 (UTC)

I'd suggest you modify the PKGBUILD to only do a shallow copy of the git repo. Right now, the repo has over 8 GB of old data, but a shallow clone is only 150 MB.

zerophase commented on 2017-08-09 13:53 (UTC)

@wefhy Yeah, you can delete repo after everything is copied over.

wefhy commented on 2017-08-09 11:54 (UTC)

@zerophase thanks, now it was installed properly :) As I did this on clean Arch install, I noticed it lacks ssh client in dependencies. Another thing is - can I delete a folder I cloned it to? it grew up to 70GB while whole installation took about 105GB - hilarious in comparison to installation from binaries.
