@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.

@k1gen Upload your PKGBUILD, sounds like you forgot a line then because nothing should be gitting. BUT the one ICON is fetched from GitHub.

Overly obvious clarification:

build() {
  cd "${pkgname}" || return

  #temporarily disable building
  return
...

prepare() {
  cd "${pkgname}" || return

  #temporarily disable building
  return
...

@OdinVex: understood, did that. makepkg -s --skipchecksums just started git cloning stuff in my 257Gb src dir :| here's my PKGBUILD: http://ix.io/4yVH

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-23 20:04 (UTC)

@k1gen Don't forget that prepare() needs to end up in the $pkgname dir, so it should be exactly like build()'s intro with cd "${pkgname}" || return as well.

seqfault commented on 2023-06-23 20:01 (UTC)

thanks, didn't notice that for some reason. with return just after prepare() I have this error:

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-23 19:55 (UTC)

@k1gen You forgot to add a return for prepare() too, it should be the first line...that way it isn't touched. Do the same to prepare() that you did for build(). :)

@OdinVex: for the last twelve hours everything was building, as I started the second build before Neko-san fixed the icon issue. now that everything built fine with old PKGBUILD, I edited it to include icon fix and add return in build(). can you please check the PKGBUILD, does it look fine? I'm worried about rm -rf "$(pkgname)" on line 150: http://ix.io/4yVF

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-23 19:32 (UTC)

@k1gen Bit confused by what you mean about second build finishing and 'now try to edit'. o_O You're welcome.

seqfault commented on 2023-06-23 19:31 (UTC)

@OdinVex: thank you very much, again. I will now try to edit the PKGBUILD, as the second build just finished

@k1gen When the next version comes out, it's safe to just uninstall UE and clean the cache, then install normally. This was just a one-time oof. ;) In the future, it is pretty much safe to always use yay, but for big packages or things that take a long time, just clone the AUR (and subscribe for version updates) and use makepkg -si. By the way, when you use makepkg for this stuff, yay detects that too and will appropriately see it, so there isn't conflict. (But again, it currently thinks your build is old simply because of the commit pushes. Just wait to mass update with yay until after unreal-engine gets a version bump. :))

@k1gen I'm not going to be here this weekend to update the PKGBUILD for 5.3 but you can simply change the pkgver value to 5.3, rebuild, and you'll be good
