    The compiler is only issuing warning due to the extra
    const's (btw, we also have a few of them). The error
    is here:

    cc-1164 CC: ERROR File = ap_UnixApp.cpp, Line = 692
      Argument of type "int (*)(const dirent *)" is
    incompatible with
    parameter of
              type "int (*)(dirent_t *)".

            n = scandir(pluginDir.c_str(), &namelist,
    so_only, alphasort);
                                                      ^

    1 error detected in the compilation of
    "ap_UnixApp.cpp".

    so_only doesn't have the expected type by scandir.

    Cheers,
