Re: [Fractint] Is there a Linux 32 bit version that I might try?

Is there a Linux 32 bit version that I might try? Preferably as a package . This directory has a 32-bit (I believe) Linux version: https://fractint.net/ftp/current/linux/
But, I think you'll have to compile & link it... (My understanding of packages is lacking. I'm not familiar with Linux.) The read.me says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- Download the source tarball (for example: xfract20.3.02.tar.gz), put it in your home directory, and untar it with the command: tar -xzf xfract20.3.02.tar.gz This will create the directory xfractint-20.03p02 containing the source. You might want to change the directory name to xfractint for convenience. You will need to have gcc, ncurses, and ncurse-develop installed. You also need the XFree86-libs package installed for the X11 libraries. This package should already be installed, but if it isn't and your distribution doesn't have it, then you need the XFree86-devel package. The Makefile is set up for my convenience, so if you want to put files in different directories, you will need to change the SRCDIR setting. Otherwise, just run make from the source directory and it should compile. Run ./xfractint to start it up.

Yes, that is a tarball of the source, you would definitely have to follow the directions below to compile it. Check your Linux distribution's repository. While it won't be the SDL version, it will be a native Linux version. I use Debian Testing, it currently shows XFractint 20.4.10-2+b2. It doesn't allow you to change window size/resolution. I have my sstools.ini for it set up for 1920x1080x256.
