Unity3D 2019.4.13f1 in Linux: No other build support than Linux, despite having installed them.

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 29, 2020

Hi dear community.

I am running Unity3D 2019.4.13f1 on Linux (Ubuntu).
Despite having installed all build supports for my target platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac), as well as having reinstalled the Editor several times now AND despite starting the editor from the Hub with Windows as my target platform, I only get Linux as single build option for target platform. I am at my wits end here.

Edit: I realized that I get an error code when compiling the scripts for a new build environment. Could this be the reason I only see the Linux Build Platform option?

I have never changed anything on the build files of Mono in this regard. And I have no idea if this error actually is prohibiting me from using other build platform settings but I pretty much guess so.

Additional Note: /home/bokken/ is not my home folder. Must be from the coder who wrote the Linux support. Not why the error message is referencing to those folders that do not exist on my system. It seems like the Linux support is still in its infancy.

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 29, 2020

Nobody any ideas?

Alright, will try Unity3D 2020.1.11f1 and see if that is of any help.
Maybe there is a problem with Unity, maybe with .Net, maybe with Mono or maybe Santa Clause but as a hobby Game Dev I do neither have the time nor the motivation to A: Change my OS or B: Investigate further into the inner workings of the Unity Editor in Linux.

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 29, 2020

Installed the current version of Mono for my Linux Distribution (Ubuntu 20.04).
No luck either.
Same damn error as stated in the inital post. I never even touched the damn GUI. I updated to latest Mono, now I have no more ideas what else to do here. I guess the only way is to run a VM with Windows, install Unity there, import my project and build it from there - wish I could invest the time I am wasting for a simple build for Windows into the making of the game.

Tautvydas-Zilys · Oct 29, 2020

Unity doesn't depend on system Mono.

Do you get the same error in Unity 2020.1.11f1? Can you try switching the editor to the default layout?

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 29, 2020

Okay, I will try switching to the default Layout.
I tried running the project in 2020, but was drowned in error messages and gave up immediately. I will get back in a couple of minutes with an edit of this post concerning the Layout change. Thank you for your swift reply!

Weird thing is, I never really changed much concerning the Layout. Only switched to Wide screen preset.

Just now when restoring to factory, I got the error

Running Unity3D 2019 with target platform Windows in Ubuntu now returns the above error AFTER opening the Build Settings in the Editor.

Only Build Setting for Target Platform within the Editor is Linux again.
Starting the Editor from the Hub with Linux as target platform returns no Errors.

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 29, 2020

After starting Unity with Windows as target platform, I get this initial notification in the console:

Do these things happen only in your project, or does it also happen on your machine if you create a brand new project?

When creating a new project, saving it and then starting the project with target platform set for Windows in Unity Hub:

So basically the same for new projects as well as my project.
Layout of Editor still set to Factory Settings. The install of the editor is new as well.

Bl4ckh34d · Oct 30, 2020

And who is that "bokken" from "/home/bokken/buildslave/unity/build/Modules/..."?
My user name is completely different. How can Unity even find those files? Is that folder hirarchy compressed in some file in the unity editors folder? I searched for these UIElement files but couldn't find them.

Deozaan · Oct 30, 2020

The "bokken" path is from the computer where the Unity Editor for Linux was compiled. Not your computer.

I have the same issue here. Following!

@Tautvydas-Zilys
Any ideas concerning the GUI error messages I get and how they could prohibit me from building for any other platform than Linux? I have no bloody idea how the Editors Gui and the building options are even connected in a way that only Linux would be available, it just doesnt make any sense.

Still asking around what this could mean. I've not seen errors like these before.

Tautvydas-Zilys · Nov 3, 2020

Could you by any chance go to the directory Unity is installed, and list all the files under <EditorInstallDir>/Data/PlaybackEngines?

No idea why, but the MacStandaloneSupport and WindowsStandaloneSupport folders are empty.

Tautvydas-Zilys · Nov 4, 2020

Damn, that looks like they weren't installed correctly. Can you show me what the hub "Installs" tab looks like as well as its "Add components" dialog?

Bl4ckh34d · Nov 5, 2020

Tautvydas-Zilys · Nov 5, 2020

Whelp, that sounds like a nasty bug in the hub.

As a temporary workaround, can you download those components from here:

http://beta.unity3d.com/download/51...p-Mac-Mono-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.13f1.pkg
http://beta.unity3d.com/download/51...ndows-Mono-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.13f1.pkg

And install them manually? Those folder should no longer be empty afterwards.

Bl4ckh34d · Nov 6, 2020

Alright, but how do I install pkg files? When opening them, it opens them as archive. Should I extract them somewhere specific?

Tautvydas-Zilys · Nov 6, 2020

Yeah, to those folders that were empty.

KevinWelton · Nov 6, 2020

@Bl4ckh34d. let me pull up some instructions for you. On Linux, .pkg files are not the most straightforward things to work with.

Bl4ckh34d · Nov 6, 2020

Despite of having extracted the pkg into its respective folder, I still get the GUI error and only the Linux Build Option.

Tautvydas-Zilys · Nov 6, 2020

The folder structure should have looked like the one in "LinuxStandaloneSupport". Let's wait for Kevin to give you some instructions on how to work with PKG files.

In the meantime, can you try installing a different version of Unity (without touching your current installation) from the hub with the Windows component, and see if the folder ends up being empty in that case too? If it is, can you upload logs from "~/.config/UnityHub/logs"?

KevinWelton · Nov 6, 2020

Sorry for the delay. Here's a sample script for decompressing to the correct location on Ubuntu. Replace the blue with your corresponding Unity install path. Replace the orange with wherever you downloaded the corresponding pkg file.

# Install bsdtar
sudo apt install -y bsdtar

# Extract the mac playback engines
MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES=~/Unity/Hub/Editor/2019.4.14f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/MacStandaloneSupport; mkdir $MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES && bsdtar -xOf ~/Downloads/UnitySetup-Mac-Mono-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.13f1.pkg TargetSupport.pkg.tmp/Payload | bsdtar -C $MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES -xf -

#extract the windows playback engines

Alright, mine looks like:

MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES=/media/gottimperator/Volume/Unity/Unity Editor/2019.4.13f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/MacStandaloneSupport; mkdir $MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES && bsdtar -xOf /media/gottimperator/Volume/Unity/UnitySetup-Mac-Mono-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.13f1.pkg TargetSupport.pkg.tmp/Payload | bsdtar -C $MAC_PLAYBACK_ENGINES -xf -

But the Terminal got some problem with the space between "Unity Editor" in the path. I tried 'Unity\ Editor', .../"Unity Editor"/..., 'Unity*Editor, Unity?Editor but it still doesnt recognize the whole path and throws an error folder not found.
As long as I remember, I could substitute spaces in folder names and paths with a simple back slash or putting them in double quotes. I start feeling like a bloody amateur...

Bl4ckh34d · Nov 7, 2020

Okay, so I grew impatient with the path problem and just renamed the folder to UnityEditor.

The command for Mac worked instantly and now I have the build option for Mac in the Editor, so it seems to work. Thank you very much for that, Kevin!

But when I do the same for windows, I get the following error:

bsdtar: Error opening archive: Failed to open '-'
TargetSupport.pkg.tmp/Payload: Write error
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

My command looked like this:

WIN_PLAYBACK_ENGINES=/media/gottimperator/Volume/Unity/UnityEditor/2019.4.13f1/Editor/Data/PlaybackEngines/WindowsStandaloneSupport; mkdir $WIN_PLAYBACK_ENGINES && bsdtar -xOf /media/gottimperator/Volume/Unity/UnitySetup-Windows-Mono-Support-for-Editor-2019.4.13f1.pkg TargetSupport.pkg.tmp/Payload | bsdtar -C $WIN_PLAYBACK_ENGINES -xf -

I tried adding a sudo before the two bsdtar commands, but still got the same error.
The pkg files have read, write and execute access for all users, so the rights shouldn't be the problem.

Bl4ckh34d · Nov 9, 2020

Final Update:

Okay, weirdly the exctraction and installation of the second playback engine (windows) worked after a reboot without any errors, so now all playback engines are running fine. Thank you so much for your help! I still wonder why it didn't correctly install them from the beginning, but at least now it works
