Thank you for the build xeno74 ! Good to see that BrassMonkey can still be built in Linux. You found out how to do it, great.
Another good news is that I added the package to MintPPC32.

An x86_64 Linux package is also available: github.com

Building tips for BrassMonkey:
For reducing IO delay (it is responsible for slow down the CPU because it is waiting for data from the slow drive) please use the RAM-based file system /dev/shm for the BrassMonkey source directory. Everything you store there is kept directly in RAM rather than on the hard drive. This makes access extremely fast and places virtually no IO load on your slow drive. Please also reduce the using of swap. (/etc/sysctl.d/99-local.conf: vm.swappiness=10 // 10 = Swap is used very late)
vm.swappiness=5 is better.
