Building Editor On Linux

sigi0073 · April 3, 2015, 3:02pm

Hello,
I am attempting to compile the unreal editor on linux through the instructions on this page: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Unreal Engine Forums
Upon running Setup.sh, I get the following errors:



$ ./Setup.sh

And finally this is the the github repository I cloned for this build:


git clone https://github.com/3dluvr/UnrealEnginebuilding LinuxNativeDialogs

I have tried reinstalling mono, with the same error coming up. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Are you on linux mint? A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements and Releases - Unreal Engine Forums

amigo · April 5, 2015, 4:56pm

Also, is your mono version 2 - it needs to be 3.1?

Sometimes the mono executables will crash, it is ok to just restart the process. So try restarting ./Setup.sh or ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh, whichever one crashes.

And as Salamanderrake said, clang-3.5 needs those symlinks made, too.

sigi0073 · April 6, 2015, 9:00pm

I am running on Ubuntu 14.04, and with mono version 3.2.8. I will try it again with just restarting Setup.sh. Thanks for all the help!

sigi0073 · April 10, 2015, 12:15am

Thank you, just rerunning Setup.sh worked!

A new question now. I am going through the tutorial at: Programming Quick Start | Unreal Engine Documentation and at some point it says to “Add Code to Project.” I go through these instructions, then it says Visual studio will pop up with the code. Obviously, running on Ubuntu I don’t have visual studio, so I was wondering how people wrote their code. What IDEs do people use and if possible, how can you link it to the Editor?

Thanks for all the help.

amigo · April 10, 2015, 12:24am

Check this wiki link: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements and Releases - Unreal Engine Forums

Right now KDevelop and Qt Creator are the two IDEs that work. Choose the one you prefer and follow the instructions to get the plugins added to the Editor.

sigi0073 · April 10, 2015, 1:43am

In following those instructions for adding Qt Creator, I get the error shown in the attached file. Removing the two lines from the file “LinuxEngine.ini” file results in the same error popping up. Any ideas why the error would continue to show after those lines are removed?

LinuxEngine.ini already had a line added for KDevelop, and a corresponding file in the Developers directory in the Plugins directory. Why wouldn’t it have used KDevelop to open the file?

amigo · April 10, 2015, 1:53am

You still need to recompile the Editor (make UE4Editor), so it creates the Qt plugin module.

Did you have KDevelop installed when you tried to open the file?

KDevelop works with CMakeLists.txt while Qt works with .pro files.
