5.5 build on Ubuntu 24.04, make Error 6

[norv2001]

I’m building 5.5 from the .zip on github on a new install of Ubuntu 24.04 where I have successfully installed Blender 4.2.2, Davinci Resolve Studio 19.0.2, Houdini 20.5…

(NB: I have built 5.4.1 successfully from .zip on Ubuntu 22.04)

after running ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh , my 5.5 build on Ubuntu 24.04 terminates with this error

Obviously this is not a critical production issue, I’m just curious to try 5.5!
TIA for any comments

Thanks @Jimbohalo10 for the tip about compile running out of disk space.
I had 140 GB unpartitioned free space on my SSD saved up for a rainy day.
I booted into a Live USB to grow my root-home partition to about 240 GB.
Rebooted into Ubuntu install.
I ran “make -j1” again in my build directory.
Success!
Got UE 5.5.0 up and running in Ubuntu 24.04.
Now the fun begins
