Build of UE4Editor on Arch Linux fails

DBulczak · January 13, 2016, 5:34pm

Hi guys. I am trying to build UE4Editor on Arch Linux. Unfortunally the build process of the Editor (i.e. “make UE4Editor”) fails at a certain stage.

I’m getting the following error message:

[853/862] Link libUE4Editor-WorldBrowser.so
-------- End Detailed Actions Stats -----------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: UBT ERROR: Failed to produce item: /home/dbulczak/Development/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/libUE4Editor-Renderer.so
Total build time: 2667.29 seconds
Makefile:193: recipe for target 'UE4Editor' failed

Thus the linking of libUE4Editor-Renderer.so with libUE4Editor-WorldBrowser seems to fail. Build of Linux Debug version (make UE4Editor-Linux-Debug) works, but it is quite slow thus I want to use the release build. Does anyone know how to fix my issue?

Edit:
I have just restarted “make UE4Editor” and I receive the following error message:
1. parser at end of file

Thus it seems, that clang 3.7 can not compile some files. Any solution for this problem?

I commented on your forum post about this issue (Build of Editor fails on Arch Linux - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums) and am still looking for a solution since I’m having the exact same problem.

At this point I’m wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I’m using NVIDIA’s Optimus technology in this particular laptop. Unfortunately I can’t disable the integrated Intel GPU and use the discreet card exclusively.

Are you also using Optimus (bumblebee/primus/optirun)? I mentioned in the forum post that my other laptop is using the discreet card exclusively and can compile and run the Editor just fine on a similar Fedora 23 setup as my Optimus computer.

Good news! I think I may have found a workaround… at least one that works for me. After reading another answer (Error while building for UE4Editor - Platform & Builds - Epic Developer Community Forums) I decided to try an earlier version of clang since the available version from Fedora 23’s repos is 3.7. I had to manually install version 3.5.1 (3.6.0 didn’t work for me). Here’s the process I used, mostly taken from https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?53451-Successful-4-6-0-build-on-Fedora-20-x86_64:

sudo dnf erase clang llvm
cd /home/<username>/Downloads
wget http://llvm.org/releases/3.5.1/clang+llvm-3.5.1-x86_64-fedora20.tar.xz
tar xvf clang+llvm-3.5.1-x86_64-fedora20.tar.xz
cd clang+llvm-3.5.1-x86_64-fedora20
sudo cp -R * /usr/local/
cd <GitUnrealEngineFolder>
./Setup.sh
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh
make UE4Editor UE4Game UnrealPak CrashReportClient ShaderCompileWorker UnrealLightmass
make -j1 ShaderCompileWorker

I have no idea why the editor builds fine on my other non-optimus laptop using clang 3.7.

I had exactly the same error that you had. I changed the clang version and it worked. The default clang version is 3.7.
do a :

pacman -S clang35

Say yes when it asks you if you want to replace the clang 3.7 version.

Look at the archlinux wiki page too:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unreal_Engine_4

FYI information I used the trick with the ld link in my ~/bin.

Before you relaunch the make command, you should clean all the files:

rm -rf Engine/Intermediate/Shaders Engine/Saved Engine/DerivedDataCache Engine/Intermediate/CachedAssetRegistry.bin
rm -rf Engine/Intermediate/Build/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/UE4Editor Engine/Binaries/Linux/libUE4Editor-* Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE4Editor
rm -f Engine/Binaries/Linux/Unreal* Engine/Binaries/Linux/UE* \
      Engine/Binaries/Linux/libUnreal* Engine/Binaries/Linux/libUE* Engine/Binaries/Linux/libSh* \
      Engine/Binaries/Linux/ShaderCompileWorker* Engine/Binaries/Linux/SlateViewer* Engine/Binaries/Linux/CrashReportClient*
rm -rf Engine/Intermediate/Build Engine/Binaries/Linux/HTML5 Engine/Binaries/Linux/Linux Engine/Binaries/Linux/Android Engine/Binaries/Linux/IOS Engine/Binaries/Linux/HTML5

I have taken this from A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums. As I did’nt want to touch the makefile, I added this in a clean.sh file and launch with:

bash clean.sh

Not vrey pro but it works.
