Compiling the engine from source on Linux and getting a error of "make*** Error 6"

anonymous_user_a64aedb1 · July 19, 2021, 4:04am

Hi there, I’d like to run Unreal Editor on my machine which is running Fedora 34, everything is fine when I was running ./Setup.sh and ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh, but after I started to run the make command, I got this error :

Is there anyone who knows how to deal with this problem?
I’ve just searched google, but it doesn’t help.

could you please try compiling some parts to see if it succeeds, thus making sure that everything is working.
make ARGS=“-clean” UnrealLightmass && make UnrealLightmass
make ARGS=“-clean” ShaderCompileWorker && make ShaderCompileWorker

if any of the above steps fails could you link more log with something like to pastebin.
I too have a fedora 34 setup on another ue5 branch.
Also for every cpu thread you should have around 2gb of ram.

Try these also:

do you have full folder permissions the source directory
change Unreal Engine to UnrealEngine
redownload the sdk (here)

Hope that you are not on the ue5-main branch as this is too bleeding edge to work on linux unless you know to work in engine source.

Hi! Have you find a way to fix this bug, I just meet same bug with you. If you fixed this. Can you tell me how to do thank you!

Lyuhayabusa · September 24, 2021, 4:20pm

I finally change source code of HlslLexer.cpp. because of the stupid compiler.image|568x330
The initialize function of FRHITextureCreateInfo that init “ArraySize” member.
I just wander why does this compiler will treat class member as macro.

Morning

I have the exact same issue, but I don’t understand how to fix it. I went to HlslLexer.cpp and try few things but none of them work… would you mind explaining to me how you fixed it? (I am using Debian 11)

Adding some information:

RHI means “Rendering Hardware Interface”
The issue is in /Engine/Source/Runtime/RHI/Public/RHIResources.h
More precisely, in the constructor of the class FRHITextureCreateInfo

	FRHITextureCreateInfo() = default;
	FRHITextureCreateInfo(
		ETextureDimension InDimension,
		ETextureCreateFlags InFlags,
		EPixelFormat InFormat,
		FIntPoint InExtent,
		FClearValueBinding InClearValue,
		uint16 InDepth = 1,
		uint16 InArraySize = 1,
		uint8 InNumMips = 1,
		uint8 InNumSamples = 1)
		: ClearValue(InClearValue)
		, Dimension(InDimension)
		, Flags(InFlags)
		, Format(InFormat)
		, Extent(InExtent)
		, Depth(InDepth)
		, ArraySize(InArraySize) //line 2910 which cause the issue
		, NumMips(InNumMips)
		, NumSamples(InNumSamples)
	{}

The class FRHITextureCreateInfo does not exist in UE4 RHIResources.h
The ArraySize(InArraySize) is looking for its definition in /Engine/Source/Developer/ShaderCompilerCommon/Private/HlslLexer.cpp

namespace CrossCompiler
{
	template <typename T, size_t N>
	char (&ArraySizeHelper(T (&array)[N]))[N];
#define ArraySize(array) (sizeof(ArraySizeHelper(array)))
#define MATCH_TARGET(S) S, (int32)ArraySize(S) - 1
(...)

I’m still stuck in this ShaderCompileWorker building part…

Thanks in advance for any help

Ok, I got it…

#undef ArraySize

It needs to be added where the ArraySize macro is causing the issue: RHIResources.h
( path = …/Engine/Source/Runtime/RHI/Public/RHIResources.h)

		: MarkedForDelete(0)

	{
	}
(...)

I.T. is amazing.

Now I have:

make: *** [Makefile:1048 : UnrealEditor] Erreur 6

Line 1047 & 1048 of Makefile:

UnrealEditor:
	 $(BUILD) UnrealEditor Linux Development  $(ARGS)

Yay, new problem, new game. Trying this solution.

Doesn’t work… so the issue is:

Compile Module.DirectLink.cpp

Shouldn’t be that hard to fix…

adx-s17 · March 7, 2022, 2:11pm

Ok… the solution I found was… downloading the right version of UE5 through GitHub

git clone --branch 5.0 --single-branch git@github.com:<user>/UnrealEngine.git

Now it’s working!

Weird, im trying to compile same branch and getting same error.

RangeMach1ne · March 14, 2022, 11:33pm

Got it working, i used InstalledBuild instead of normal make and it worked, not sure whats the difference. Looks like it gona work on ue5-main branch also.
My script:

./UnrealEngine/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Linux" -script=./Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml -set:WithAndroid=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithLinuxArm64=false -set:WithDDC=false -set:WithFullDebugInfo=true -set:GameConfigurations=Development

Upd: confirmed works on ue5-main branch.

hi, i’m test it, but this not work for me.
