Getting this error while executing "make" command.
OS - Ubuntu 17.10
Running Unreal 4.17
Fixed it.
This helped:
$ chown -R user: filepath //mention user and the path to the directory
$ su user
$ make
Do not use 'sudo' or 'root user' while executing make command as it leads to another error where it shows:
"Refusing to run with the root privileges."
Can be closed now.
I can confirm this issue resolves the Unreal Engine make error.
It happened to me, too. Just resolve it by this case.
“”user: filepath //mention user and the path to the directory “ What is the specific content of this part?
This error still occures @mashrin
$ chown -R yue: /home/yue/UnrealEngine/
$ su user
$ make
It's work for me
ubuntu18.04 && UE4.24
