David,
./XFractint: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_ttf- 2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I got a shiny new laptop for Christmas/birthday/future years to come - Dell XPS 15 7590 (i9, 64GB RAM, 2TB NVME SSD, 4k HDR display) and did a fresh installation of Linux on it. Whatever I may have done before that made it work. Would love to see how XFractint handles 4K resolution!
Since I can't ever remember how to set things up, I put the information in the Setup_CodeBlocks.txt file:
For general users: On a Debian based system (like Ubuntu): Need to run: sudo apt-get intall libsdl2-2.0 Need to run: sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf2.0-0
Thanks, Jonathan. On Debian Buster (Debian 10), the first package exists. The second wasn't found. When I tried using Synaptic, "libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0" was found. Don't know if the Setup_CodeBlocks.txt file needs to be updated?
Also, the most recent alpha I have is 2019-0915. Is there a newer one?
That is the latest. I am currently working on some fixes for how directories are delt with. Also have fixed a problem with generating parameter files.
Thanks. Tried updating the fractint.cfg file with a 256-color entry for 4K (3840x2160) resolution, but selecting it only makes XFractint SDL abruptly vanish. Yet starting with the default window size (640x480 and stock mandelbrot) I can maximize the window and XFractint happily re-renders it at 4K resolution. It looks wonderful! :) :) :) -- David W.
