Hello, does anyone know if nsynth works with rasberry Pi 4? Thank you!

I tried and it does not. I think it could work for sure but it requires maybe some source code modifications since a lot of the software versions need to be changed. I tried using all the same versions of sw in this package as on the raspi 4, and got pretty far but at some point the errors just got to be a pain and i bought a raspi 3 on ebay lol. Basically every time a new error popped up, I downgraded that software package to the version used on the version of raspian stretch indicated in the build docs. I didn't follow the rabbit hole the entire way, but this could be a possible avenue. I was concerned that as I downgraded these software packages I might be creating other errors elsewhere in the system (not necessarily in the nsynth stuff but in the actual OS)
