Build scripts for native Linux build

This document describes how to build UE4 natively on a Linux host. So far this has only been tested on Debian/Sid and Ubuntu/Precise.

A wiki page page regarding building on linux is also maintained at https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux, and public IRC discussion happens on #UE4Linux on FreeNode.

Prerequisites

You will need mono + gmcs and several other packages installed in order to build EU4. The command to install these on Ubundu 12.04 (Precise) is:

$ apt-get install mono-mcs mono-xbuild dos2unix clang-3.3 \
    libogg-dev libmono-microsoft-build-tasks-v4.0-4.0-cil \
    libmono-system-data-datasetextensions4.0-cil \
    libmono-system-web-extensions4.0-cil \
    libmono-system-management4.0-cil

Building

1. Download the additional .zip archives for the master branch from Epic's GitHub Releases page at https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases

2. Download v130 of the Steamworks SDK.

3. Install the downloaded dependencies with:

    $ ./UpdateDeps.sh.
   

4. Build third party libraries:

    $ ./BuildThirdParty.sh.
   

5. Build UnrealBuildTool (UBT) and generate top level Makefile:

    $ ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh
   

6. Build your targets using the top-level Makefile. e.g:

    $ make UE4Client
   

   Or by running Build.sh directly:

    $ Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/Build.sh UE4Client Linux Debug
