So the problem is basically you can't get it built, under Ubuntu Xenial.
Were you able to build any package at all?
Have you tried building with a newer Ubuntu, like Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic?
When building under Debian, it is normally that the Debian stable is
not up-to-date enough that we normally need to use sid, or even
unstable.
PS. I'm not an expert at all, just trying to help you out and get the
ball rolling. :)
