Can't compile Unreal Engine 4

Hello !
I try to compile Unreal Engine 4 but it's fail !

/usr/bin/ld: /home/romain/UnrealEngineINstaller/UnrealEngine-4.17.1-release/Engine/Source/ThirdParty/FreeType2/FreeType2-2.6/Lib/Linux/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libfreetype.a(type42.c.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

make: *** [Makefile:252: CrashReportClient-Linux-Shipping] Error 5

There's a lot of recompile with -fPIC

If I compile Unreal Engine 4 DEBUG it's work but it always initialize when I start it, so it's not cool.

Thank's for help

Re: Can't compile Unreal Engine 4

Have you tried the unreal-engine package in the AUR?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: Can't compile Unreal Engine 4

Well, It work, but the scene is full purple...
I had to start UE4 with -opengl3 caus I don't have 4.3, is it the reason of this bug ?
And how can I install opengl 4.3 ?
