[alsa-devel] Problem with alsa-compile.sh script on Linux Mint 18.1

[Nali Waterfall]

Hello! I have a "Cannot install patch for unsupported distribution Linux"
error while trying to run alsa-compile.sh script. The script supports
Ubuntu which Mint is base on. What can I do to make it support Mint?

This is a script version 0.2.9 doing ALSA code compilation and installation.
