Gentoo, nvidia-drivers-346.35, clang-3.5.1, I have managed to compile everything as described in

emerge =mono-3.2.8
git clone https://github.com/3dluvr/UnrealEngine.git
cd UnrealEngine
./Setup.sh 
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh 
make SlateViewer
make ShaderCompileWorker UnrealLightmass UnrealPak UE4Editor
make UE4Editor-Linux-Debug 
cd Engine/Binaries/Linux && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./UE4Editor
or
cd Engine/Binaries/Linux && LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./UE4Editor-Linux-Debug

UE4Editor opens but exits (shutdowns) when project is created or project is opened.
Even ./UE4Editor-Linux-Debug -onethread cannot help.

It says in console:

or with strace

I have run ./UE4Editor-Linux-Debug under gdb, it stops at the beginning:

Hi

Could you please post your entire log from the terminal, start to end, and include any stack trace (if available).

Thanks.

Here are logs for ./UE4Editor-Linux-Debug -onethread and normal run:
https://app.box.com/s/2evljsi7rhjm6fb40rsmwone6pdile8u

Have you tried building the default Development build and running without -onethread though?

There don’t seem to be any obvious errors, aside from the JSON ones which are benign and so I wonder why you are running Debug with -onethread.

It might be possible that you’ve hit some threading bug with this combination (Gentoo, Debug build, -onethread) but I’ll ping @RCL about this as well.

5

Run it under gdb, and pass the complete path to .uproject as the first argument.

gdb UE4Editor-Linux-Debug
r /my/project/project.uproject

and see if it traps to the debugger. You can also set breakpoint at FLinuxPlatformMisc::RequestExit to see what causes it to exit.

6

I have added gdb output to my question!

7

Could you please do “bt” after you trap and add the resulting callstack?

P.S. I strongly recommend NOT to run the engine as root.

8

I have added the “bt” output. I have run it as a user with the exactly same result.

9

Move your project into /var/tmp or move the engine under /root. There is a bug that makes the engine crash if project and the engine don’t share any other directory except /.

It works! Thanks!
