Difficulties installing Mint on Linux with Homebrew

[deatondg]

I am asking this here as I am not sure where I should really be asking.

I am trying to use Homebrew on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) to install Mint. I have installed swiftenv using Homebrew, and swift using swiftenv. In my .profile, I have included

export SWIFTENV_ROOT=/home/linuxbrew/.swiftenv
if which swiftenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(swiftenv init -)"; fi

to put swift in my PATH. Running echo $PATH gives

/home/linuxbrew/.swiftenv/shims:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin:/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/sbin:/home/me/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

and which swift yields /home/linuxbrew/.swiftenv/shims/swift.

However, running brew install mint errors with

swift build --disable-sandbox -c release --arch arm64 --arch x86_64
make: swift: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:18: build] Error 127

READ THIS: https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting

To explore, I obtain a debug shell after the error with brew install --debug mint In the debug shell, running echo $PATH gives

/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/shims/linux/super:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

and which swift turns up nothing.

What am I supposed to do to pass /home/linuxbrew/.swiftenv/shims into brew so that Mint can build? Ideally, the solution would allow me to run (the swiftenv part of) my .profile before building the formula so that I can avoid the possible fragility of swiftenv moving its shims directory.

I'm also having issues installing mint via brew. It's discouraging to see that there's no reply on this issue and it's been over six months...

Having issues here as well, but in my case it's even more complex, since I'm on arm64 and the official Homebrew does not support arm64-linux easily yet.

A Debian package would solve the bootstrapping issue.
