Winamp

About

Winamp is a multimedia player launched in 1997, iconic for its flexibility and wide compatibility with audio formats. Originally developed by Nullsoft, it gained massive popularity with still millions of users. Its development slowed down, but now, its source code was opened to the community, allowing developers to improve and modernize the player to meet current user needs.

It really whips the llama's ass.

Usage

Building of the Winamp desktop client is currently based around Visual Studio 2019 (VS2019) and Intel IPP libs (You need to use exactly v6.1.1.035). There are different options of how to build Winamp:

1. Use the build_winampAll_2019.cmd script file that makes 4 versions x86/x64 (Debug and Release). In this case, Visual Studio IDE is not required.
2. Use the winampAll_2019.sln file to build and debug in Visual Studio IDE.

Dependencies

libvpx

We take libvpx from https://github.com/ShiftMediaProject/libvpx, modify it, and pack it to archive. Run unpack_libvpx_v1.8.2_msvc16.cmd to unpack.

libmpg123

We take libmpg123 from https://www.mpg123.de/download.shtml, modify it, and pack it to archive. Run unpack_libmpg123.cmd to unpack and process the DLLs.

OpenSSL

You need to use openssl-1.0.1u. For that, you need to build a static version of these libs. Run build_vs_2019_openssl_x86.cmd and build_vs_2019_openssl_64.cmd.

To build OpenSSL, you need to install:

• 7-Zip (https://www.7-zip.org/) – Licensed under the GNU LGPL.
