Working with UE5.3 Project on Ubuntu 22.04

Hello!

I built from source 5.3 version of engine on ubuntu 22.04. I created a test project and now I have a question:
how am I supposed to build the project when I put any changes?

I have a VS code project opened. I tried to run make inside project folder but I keep getting this error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'CrashReportClient-Linux-Shipping', needed by 'RequiredTools'.  Stop.

Despite that, I still can rebuild my project from the Unreal Editor if I try to launch it (and it launches successfully).

My second question: when I create a project from UnrealEditor, the project creates and instead of launching the Unreal Editor with a project inside it calls UE to quit and launches vs code - is this a supposed behaviour?

p.s. Before that I worked with ue 4.27 on windows in VS2022.

I have had the same issue.

  1. Open a terminal :computer:

  2. Move into your project directory and run the following command:

make YOURPROJECTNAMEEditor

Do not use any spaces and type your project name exactly as is with no trailing characters. :warning:

  1. Open the project with your editor :rocket:

  2. Enjoy the amazing Unreal Engine 5 experience! :star:
