I Tried both UE 4.20 and UE dev-vr in linux, whenever I tried to “make”, this message shows up:

clang: error: invalid linker name in argument ‘-fuse-ld=lld’

Have you run SetupToolchain.sh to download and setup the Linux toolchain? If not, you need to install lld on your system using its package manager.

I confirm for 4.19 sudo apt-get install lld fixed the error.
