Hey edcolmar-

Here is a wiki page that details setting up cross compilation for Linux as well as information for packaging for Linux as well: A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums

This should help in setting up your Windows machine to be able to compile for Linux.

Cheers

Thanks .

That was the how-to I was using.

For anyone else that sees this same error, I have a solution.

The script requires Power Shell 3 or higher. Win 7 has powershell 2.

Upgrade to powershell 4, and the script will complete.
