Failed to launch UnityShaderCompiler

I'm in the process of configuring a jenkins server to build Unity 2019.1.4 projects on CentOS 7 .

I get this error:

Updating Assets/HSVPicker/Resources/Shaders/Compute/GenerateSVTexture.compute - GUID: 06ff10007fb33fe44a062956d2249bb2...
fork error
(Filename: ./Editor/Platform/Linux/ExternalProcess.cpp Line: 76)
Failed to launch UnityShaderCompiler shader compiler! /var/lib/unity/unity2019.1/Editor/Data/Tools/UnityShaderCompiler
(Filename: ./Tools/UnityShaderCompiler/ShaderCompilerClient.cpp Line: 274)
Receiving unhandled NULL exception

Am I missing a dependency to be able to run this shader compiler?

 

Maybe, probably related:

Updating Assets/Sounds/gong.wav - GUID: 8e96b145458c77e4abd30a4c47face30...
fork error
(Filename: ./Editor/Platform/Linux/EditorUtility.cpp Line: 115)
Unspecified error during import of AudioClip Assets/Sounds/gong.wav
(Filename: ./Modules/AssetPipelineEditor/Public/AudioImporter.cpp Line: 843)

Notice that it also mentions "fork error", is that somehow related?

 

Hi @grrava ,

have you ever been able to solve your issue? We're running into the same "fork error - Failed to launch UnityShaderCompiler shader compiler!" lines, actually not on import (though it might have done that too just without me noticing) but at a certain point during our game startup process. Seems like it's actually causing everything after that point to fail completely

Regards,
Chris

 

Nope, still no luck unfortunately. I'm afraid that unity on Linux isn't that stable yet.
