Simple answer is, no. Xfractint has a lot of the functionality of Fractint, but doesn't allow changing the window size, rotating the zoom box, color cycling, palette editing...
Does the "XFree86-libs" listed as needed in the Read.me in: https://fractint.net/ftp/current/linux/ mean that it's a 32-bit version? <== <==
The 32-bit is referring to the compiler used to make the executable.

If you want the non-SDL version of XFractint, check your Linux version's package manager. Debian has it, so I think Ubuntu has it, too. They should have the 32-bit version already available as a package: no compilation required. On October 27, 2017 6:45:19 PM HST, Harold Lane <hallane@earthlink.net> wrote:
