trying to build supercollider 3.9.1 for ubuntu xenial (16.04)

as you might guess, without any success at the moment.

i tried gcc/g++ 4.9, 5, 6, 7, the latter two from this ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain ... buntu/test

every build stops early on different source files for different compilers, but always with the same error:
invalid conversion from ‘int’ to ‘const void*’
in the same time, builds from the exactly same source and with exactly the same build deps installed on 17.10 and 18.04 are successful.

i guess this happens due to some outdated component(s) in ubuntu 16.04, but since i'm actually not a developer, i don't have a single idea what it might be.

so, any ideas?

thanx in advance.

Sounds like C code being compiled as C++. IIRC -fpermissive should be a viable workaround.
