Unreal 4 compiled successfully but UE4Editor file doesn't exist
us flag

I have Ubuntu 20.04 on a desktop with an old i7 CPU and 16 GiB of RAM.

Here are the commands I ran to compile Unreal 4.27:

./Setup.sh
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh
make -j 4
make -j 4 ShaderCompileWorker

I had to try several times before the process completed. On previous attempts the machine ran out of memory and I had to do a hard shutdown. It seemed to be the use of make -j 4, to try to limit the use  ...

GNU make executes weird shell
cn flag

The shell function in GNU make behaves weird on Ubuntu. Consider this simple Makefile:

TEST1 := $(shell command -v sh)
TEST2 := $(shell /bin/sh -c 'command -v sh')

TEST1 = 
TEST2 = /usr/bin/sh
