@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).

@Kerrex Sorry, I had removed .exe files to reduce the package size, and didn't realise any were needed. I added those back so it should work now.

Hello, when trying to create C++ project, I get this error (sorry for not copy-paste, but for some reason it doesn't work in Unreal Editor): https://s21.postimg.io/9g2ij8jw5/Zrzut_ekranu_Deepin20160908144715.png Do you know what's the reason? I tried to google it but couldn't found any valuable information

@zerophase Thanks, I added that to the build script. If CLion just needs a debug build, that could be done before installing by adding "make UE4Editor-Linux-Debug" to the PKGBUILD. In general, only root should be able to modify installed packages, so any building should be done before install.

@acerix Hey, Widget Blueprints are broken currently. Just need to run git revert 8fba9bbdc3cc4105d7c3de24adc94f7304c7d90b --no-edit to fix. Issue: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/482939/whenever-opening-a-widget-blueprint-engine-crashes.html I think the engine will crash on shutdown because of this, but it's no longer broken while running anymore.

@acerix I don't mean CLion needs to be able to overwrite that file. What I mean is GenerateProjectFiles.sh refuses to run without root with how the permissions are setup.

@zerophase I added .ue4dependencies to the package. Do you mean CLion needs to be able to overwrite that file?

zerophase commented on 2016-09-05 03:31 (UTC) (edited on 2016-09-05 03:50 (UTC) by zerophase)

@acerix finding more files required. I'll add more if I can't start a debug build from CLion. in unreal-engine .ue4dependencies There's also permission issues with unreal-engine I had to switch to root to generate .ue4dependencies.

@acerix there are ones that call the root file to get to the specific platform file. I think the CLion source code accessor needs them. In general it's recommended by Arch to keep packages matching upstream, since it might cause issues. I'd say just remove things for Windows and Mac, like Binaries, and be cautious with removing their scripts since it might cause issues with building for that platform. Though, I believe cross platform builds are only supported on Windows.

acerix commented on 2016-09-01 22:36 (UTC)

@zerophase Are there actually plugins which depend on those files? As I understand, the scripts in the root dir are only useful to build the engine itself. The scripts with the same name under BatchFiles are quite different, I think the engine uses those to build projects.

zerophase commented on 2016-08-31 20:35 (UTC)

@acerix I love what you've done with removing unnecessary files. Just one thing I suggest you keep the Linux files, such as GenerateProjectFiles.sh, and setup.sh at the root. I get that I could got to /Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux to use the files. It's just for compatibility sake for plugins that might be using that file at the Unreal Root.
