There may be workarounds for this, such as using an older glibc.
Ubuntu Xenial does not provide the libraries this project requires. The build system will never support it.

[probonopd]

So you are saying the libraries this project requires cannot be built on xenial from source either?

[kantooon]

I wouldn't know for sure since I never used Ubuntu, but it might be a huge task. Among others, FreeDV support requires at least gnuradio 3.7.13 (the list of deps for gnuradio is huge and a recent libvolk is required as well), some features used from Qt 5.5+, libopus might be problematic, libprotobuf and protoc would definitely be a problem.
To a Gentoo user I'd say yeah go ahead and build everything from source, to a Ubuntu user, I don't know if it's feasible. Even Centos7 is a problem because the gnuradio packages they provide are broken (missing libgnuradio-fec)

I see. In this case it might be easier to just bundle everything privately (like the -s deploy option in my experimental https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/tree/master/src/appimagetool can do) if one wants the AppImage to be able to run on older systems as well.

[kantooon]

That would be a great idea, thanks a lot for letting me know of this option. I'll see about adjusting the Docker build at the next release.
