Unable to compile shader while creating minimal image
See original GitHub issueue4-docker version: 0.0.68 (latest available version is 0.0.68)
Operating system: Linux (Arch Linux, 5.6.13-arch1-1)
Docker daemon version: 19.03.9-ce
NVIDIA Docker supported: Yes
Maximum image size: No limit detected
Available disk space: 3.01 TiB
Total system memory: 62.51 GiB physical, 1024 MiB virtual
Number of processors: 8 physical, 16 logical
I’m building a Linux container with unreal engine 4.25. I’m using a custom version of the engine, but the changes are really minimal and have practically nothing to do with shaders.
However, while running this line of the Dockerfile:
'/bin/sh -c ./Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Linux" -script=Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml -set:HostPlatformOnly=true -set:WithDDC=$BUILD_DDC && rm -R -f /home/ue4/UnrealEngine/LocalBuilds/InstalledDDC && python3 /tmp/exclude-components.py /home/ue4/UnrealEngine/LocalBuilds/Engine/Linux $EXCLUDE_DEBUG $EXCLUDE_TEMPLATES && echo '' && echo 'RUN directive complete. Docker will now commit the filesystem layer to disk.' && echo 'Note that for large filesystem layers this can take quite some time.' && echo 'Performing filesystem layer commit...' && echo '''
I got these errors that make the compilation to fail.

Any guess about what’s going on? I’m trying to reproduce the same problem on Windows in the meantime (but it is painful because I go out of space often)

This is a known issue in Unreal Engine 4.25.0 under Linux, and my understanding is that a fix is already implemented and slated for release in Unreal Engine 4.25.1
Closing this issue, since 4.25.1 includes the fix and works correctly. As always, users are encouraged to use the latest point release for any given Unreal Engine version, and to be wary of .0 releases when building the ue4-full image due to their rocky track record when it comes to Installed Builds of the Engine. (As an example, both 4.20.0 and 4.22.0 had issues with Installed Builds, under Windows and Linux respectively.)
