To Compile gcc and clang

cd UnrealEngine
./Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Linux/Toolchain/DockerOnWindows/build_linux_toolchain/build_linux_toolchain.sh

to fix all the dependencies that BuildThirdParty.sh (started from setup.sh) will need - will download around 10GB

./GitDependencies.sh

Setup

./Setup.sh
./GenerateProjectFiles.sh

Useful Info about Build UnReal on Linux https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Building_On_Linux

Problems

During ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh in the output there is "Python SDK not found"
Look like is needed package pythonnet installable via pip3 but it give the error:

error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized it seem a bug in mono that should be fixed from few days... waiting new version
Tryied different workaround like: python3 -m pip install -U wheel pip3 install -U setuptools

even installing from source /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet --user
even compiling from git repo

git clone https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet
cd pythonnet/
python setup.py bdist_wheel

give an error:

Error: SecureChannelFailure (Authentication failed, see inner exception.) Authentication failed, see inner exception.
/usr/lib/../lib/libmono-btls-shared.so assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)

This libmono-btls-shared.so is not installed because for ppc64 is not compiled https://packages.debian.org/sid/libmono-btls-interface4.0-cil
