I did that at my former house. I used four two foot long 2 by 4's bolted to the studs on the side of the house and then mounted mounting brackets into each 2 by 4. At the base I used three cinder blocks filled with cement that had the bottom mast secured at the ground. First, I centered the mast, then poured the cement and then let it sit for a while until it started to solidify. Then I carefully pulled the mast out so as to not disturb the cement and cleaned it off. After it had dried I was able to slip in the mast and slip it out with ease when needed.
Use a couple of flat blocks as a base to put the cinder blocks on. That way you won't have a pile of cement sitting on the ground and also a better base to stabilize the mast.
