Error compiling UE4 on Fedora 24

Hi guys,

I’m having this error when I try to run “make” on the UE4 path

I already run Setup.sh and GenerateProjectsFiles.sh, and both finish successfully.

So, when I “make” the source, the console retrieve this:


[me@pc UnrealEngine]$ make
bash "/home/me/UnrealEngine"/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/Build.sh CrashReportClient Linux Shipping

Failed to build to build tool (UnrealBuildTool)

I think “it’s a permission problem”, so I tried to run as root:


[root@pc UnrealEngine]# make
bash "/home/me/UnrealEngine"/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/Build.sh CrashReportClient Linux Shipping

So… what i have to chroot and chown properly to run make with my user?

Thanks

First: Make sure you are not out of disk space!

Second: Make sure you are not running any restrictive SELinux or similar systems.

Third: What are the permissions of these files? Specifically, if you “ls -l” on the files it tries to open, what does it say?


/home/me/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Programs/DotNETCommon/DotNETUtilities/obj/Development/DotNETUtilities.csproj.FilesWrittenAbsolute.txt

In general, to change the ownership to yourself on all files, run this (assuming you’re in your home directory):


sudo chown -R `whoami` UnrealEngine/

In general, to make sure that the owner has read/write permission on all files, run this:


chmod -R u+rw UnrealEngine/

Thanks !!!

I follow your steps and it works:

First: edited /etc/selinux/config…



# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#       targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#       mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Then reboot.

Second: chown the UnrealEngine directory to me as you type.

Third: chmod the Unreal directory as you type.

And finally make.

Thanks!!!

—UPDATE—

I try the same in other fedora 24 pc with SELinux enforcing. It works, so the first step can be skipped.
