Facing a Problem while building UE4 on Ubuntu 20.10

anonymous_user_70c2bb59 · February 8, 2021, 6:10am

I am trying to build UE4 on Ubuntu 20.10. I have cloned the GitHub repo and run the Setup.sh file successfully as per the instructions given.But when I run GenerateProjectFiles.sh, i get a bunch of warnings as shown in the screenshot below.

Also, after running this,when I run make command,I get an error as seen in the 2nd Image.

I am stuck at this step for hours and can’t figure anything out.I trying running the SetupToolchain.sh again but it has already installed successfully.

What should I do so that I solve this error?I also googled for tutorials and fixes but couldn’t find anything.

Hello, can you be sure to check what github branch you synced was to the release branch and not the master branch?

Also make sure Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/SetupToolchain.sh ran, which should place/download that SDK: Engine/Extras/AutoSDK/HostLinux/Linux_x64/

I have cloned the Release Branch, I checked it again.

Also,I checked the Engine/Extras/AutoSDK/HostLinux/Linux_x64/ folder,it is showing the following folders, all of them have setup.sh and unsetup.sh files within them.

Is something that I am doing wrong?

Hello Neeraj,

I have gotten those very same errors a couple of times before. I am not sure how it happens but (maybe inconsistent file state after a failed build?) I followed Michael Sartain’s instructions here to refresh the git repository without completely re-downloading it solved it for me. Also, try not to run the setup and build commands all on one line like so:

./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh -MakeFile && make

Instead break them up one-by-one. I found I was getting a command line prompt during ./Setup.sh but was unable to answer it and that messed up the ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh step. I hope this helps.
