How to root Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro with linux computer

Question

I have found a lot instructions, but most (or all) of them use a Windows GUI application to root the device. The Linux scripts, that I found did not work.

My telephone:

Model: Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
Android-Version: 4.0.4
Kernel-Version: 2.6.32.9-perf
Build-Nummer: 4.1.B.0.587

How can I root this phone with a linux computer?

HINT This is not a duplicate question, because I want to do it from Linux (not Windows) and second the alleged solution does not contain an answer for my phone!

This is not a duplicate, because the linked answer does not contain a possibility for this phone (although linked to another answer, but which has no solution!). — erik, Feb 07 '15 at 23:06
I've just updated the main rooting answer to point to this question as the previously linked 'answer' for this phone was not actually about rooting. — bmdixon, Feb 08 '15 at 13:18

You could install CyanogenMod on it, their instructions have worked out on Linux for me.
