Any chance for Linux support for Python with Unreal?

[rdeioris]

Just add a new "if block" here for linux:

https://github.com/20tab/UnrealEnginePython/blob/master/Source/UnrealEnginePython/UnrealEnginePython.Build.cs#L79

the procedure should be the same of osx

Oh and if you manage to run it, make a pull request ;)

Thanks so much for that suggestion. I've tried putting what I thought was the equivalent here, but it seemed to still crash, saying that there is an invalid plugin.

else if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Linux)
    {
            if (pythonHome == "python35")
            {
                string linux_python = "/usr/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m-x86_64-linux-gnu/";
                PublicIncludePaths.Add("/usr/include/python3.5/");
                PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add(Path.Combine(linux_python, "libpython3.5m.so"));
                Definitions.Add(string.Format("UNREAL_ENGINE_PYTHON_ON_LINUX=3"));
            }
            else if (pythonHome == "python27") {
                string linux_python = "/usr/lib/python2.7/config-x86_64-linux-gnu/";
                PublicIncludePaths.Add("/usr/include/python2.7/");
                PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add(Path.Combine(linux_python, "libpython2.7.so"));
                Definitions.Add(string.Format("UNREAL_ENGINE_PYTHON_ON_LINUX=2"));
            }
    }

Apologies in advance if this seems obvious. I've tried to include in a similar fashion the python development headers and linux equivalent of the dylib file in mac.

Can't you enable logging of the build phase ?

By the way, check the UnrealEnginePythonPCH.h file as you need to se the right includes

Thanks, here's what I find in my logfile that I think is relevant:

[2016.09.22-13.43.37:737][ 0]LogModuleManager:Warning: No filename provided for module UnrealEnginePython
[2016.09.22-13.43.37:737][ 0]LogModuleManager:Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module 'UnrealEnginePython' because the file '/home/daeil/Programs/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux/' was not found.

By UnrealEnginePythonPCH.h, i couldn't find that, but found UnrealEnginePythonPrivatePCH.h which I think you were referring to. Modified it to include this:

#elif UNREAL_ENGINE_PYTHON_ON_LINUX == 2
#include <python2.7/Python.h>

which still resulted in the same error. Given the error message above, I'm wondering if I should set the flag to MAC and fool it into using those binaries.

Linux is now officially supported:
