**Winamp: A Most Splendid British Affair, By Jove!**
# Winamp
Gather round, dear chaps and chapesses, for a tale as quintessentially British as Big Ben, red telephone boxes, and Her Majesty’s corgis gallivanting on the lush lawns of Buckingham Palace. Yes, it’s time to dust off your bowler hats, clutch your teacups, and straighten that Union Jack — because _Winamp_, the venerable, time-honoured titan of the digital music world, has returned in all its resplendent glory! In a move that would make even Winston Churchill raise an eyebrow in approval, the source code has been flung wide open to the public, akin to opening the gates of Windsor Castle for the common folk. It's a true marvel of modern British spirit!
## About
### _It Whips the Llama’s Arse, Old Bean, and Then Some!_
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.
In the grand tradition of great British understatements — such as calling the Channel Tunnel a “rather decent engineering project” — Winamp’s slogan has endured the test of time, much like the Queen herself. “It really whips the llama’s arse” — a declaration so audacious that it rivals even a lively debate in the House of Commons! Now, in this grand new era of open-source, developers far and wide can don their metaphorical top hats, roll up their sleeves, and bring Winamp marching into the future with all the pomp and pageantry of a Royal Jubilee.
It really whips the llama's ass.
### _Usage: A Task Worthy of a Knight of the Realm!_
## Usage
Let’s not mince words, good fellow — building Winamp is not for the faint of heart, but neither was the British Empire! You’ll need to prepare your arsenal with the precision of a Grenadier Guard on parade. The foundation of this majestic enterprise is Visual Studio 2019 and Intel IPP libs (v6.1.1.035, naturally — no riff-raff will do). Here are your orders, soldier:
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:
* **Option 1: The Command Line Charge**Execute the build\_winampAll\_2019.cmd script, and in a manoeuvre as swift and decisive as Wellington at Waterloo, you’ll produce four versions (x86 and x64, Debug and Release). Visual Studio IDE? Pah! Who needs it? This is the digital equivalent of charging into battle on horseback.
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.
* **Option 2: The Visual Studio Campaign**Should you prefer a more leisurely amble through the hills and dales of software development, the winampAll\_2019.sln file is your ticket to building and debugging in the venerable Visual Studio IDE. It’s as if you’re settling in for a quiet afternoon in the drawing room with tea and biscuits. Marvellous!
### Dependencies
#### libdiscid
### _Dependencies: A Gathering of Britain's Finest!_
We take libdiscid from https://github.com/metabrainz/libdiscid/tree/v0.6.2, copy it in /Src/external_dependencies/libdiscid-0.6.2/
Now, no grand British venture is complete without a proper entourage. Much like the chaps in red coats who marched to victory at Trafalgar, Winamp requires its own stalwart companions to see it through to triumph:
#### libvpx
* **libdiscid**: Fetch this trusty comrade from the digital treasure trove known as Metabrainz, and tuck it into /Src/external\_dependencies/libdiscid-0.6.2/. Quite right, carry on!
We take libvpx from [https://github.com/ShiftMediaProject/libvpx](https://github.com/ShiftMediaProject/libvpx), modify it, and pack it to archive.
Run `unpack_libvpx_v1.8.2_msvc16.cmd` to unpack.
* **libvpx**: After a quick polish and adjustment, run unpack\_libvpx\_v1.8.2\_msvc16.cmd and it’ll unpack like a fine pair of tailor-made trousers from Savile Row.
#### libmpg123
* **libmpg123**: Like a well-bred butler, this library will require some careful handling. Modify, then run unpack\_libmpg123.cmd to get the necessary DLLs. Spiffing!
We take libmpg123 from [https://www.mpg123.de/download.shtml](https://www.mpg123.de/download.shtml), modify it, and pack it to archive.
Run `unpack_libmpg123.cmd` to unpack and process the DLLs.
* **OpenSSL**: For this undertaking, you’ll need OpenSSL 1.0.1u — the Rolls-Royce of cryptographic libraries. A quick bout of building with build\_vs\_2019\_openssl\_x86.cmd or build\_vs\_2019\_openssl\_64.cmd will have you in top form. Absolutely first class!
#### 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`.
### _The Tools of Empire: By Royal Decree!_
To build OpenSSL, you need to install:
Just as Britannia ruled the waves, you too shall rule the build process — but only with the finest tools at your disposal, like an officer preparing for a grand expedition across the colonies:
- 7-Zip ([https://www.7-zip.org/](https://www.7-zip.org/)) – Licensed under the GNU LGPL.
- NASM ([https://www.nasm.us/](https://www.nasm.us/)) – Licensed under the 2-Clause BSD License.
- Perl ([https://www.perl.org/](https://www.perl.org/)) – Licensed under the Artistic License or GPL.
* **7-Zip**: As essential to a British developer as the Crown Jewels are to the monarchy. Retrieve it from [https://www.7-zip.org/](https://www.7-zip.org/) and handle it with care — licensed under GNU LGPL, of course, for the most proper of reasons.
#### DirectX 9 SDK
* **NASM**: A tool as reliable as a trusty British brolly in the midst of a torrential downpour. You’ll find it licensed under the 2-Clause BSD License, and just as dependable.
We take DirectX 9 SDK (June 2010) from Microsoft, modify it, and pack it to archive.
Run `unpack_microsoft_directx_sdk_2010.cmd` to unpack it.
* **Perl**: Every great British explorer needs a map, and every great British developer needs Perl. Licensed under the Artistic License or GPL, it’s a tool so elegant it might as well be sipping a glass of Pimm's on the veranda.
#### Microsoft ATLMFC lib fix
In file `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.24.28314\atlmfc\include\atltransactionmanager.h`
### _Final Flourishes: The Queen's English of Coding!_
Go to line 427 and change from:
Of course, one does not simply march into battle without a few adjustments to ensure everything runs smoother than a Bentley gliding through the countryside. A key fix lies in atltransactionmanager.h at line 427. You’ll need to change:
` cppCode return ::DeleteFile((LPTSTR)lpFileName); `
```cpp
return ::DeleteFile((LPTSTR)lpFileName);
```
to the much more agreeable:
to:
` cppCode return DeleteFile((LPTSTR)lpFileName); `
```cpp
return DeleteFile((LPTSTR)lpFileName);
```
A minor change, but much like making sure your monocle is polished and your cravat neatly tied, it’s these little details that separate the gentlemen from the ruffians.
#### Intel IPP 6.1.1.035
### _God Save the Winamp!_
We take Intel IPP 6.1.1.035, modify it, and pack it to archive.
In conclusion, dear Britons and admirers of all things splendidly British, we are witnessing nothing short of a second Renaissance! Winamp has returned, and it’s up to us — the gallant, tea-drinking, stoically unflappable citizens of this green and pleasant land — to see that it thrives once again. So, raise your teacups high, sing _God Save the Queen_ (or King, depending on the year), and let us embark on this most noble of endeavours!
Run `unpack_intel_ipp_6.1.1.035.cmd` to unpack it.
### Build Tools
Several external build tools are required to build Winamp. These tools are not bundled directly into the repository to comply with their respective licenses. You will need to download them separately from the following links:
- **7-Zip Portable**: Download from [https://www.7-zip.org/](https://www.7-zip.org/)
License: GNU LGPL
- **Git**: Download from [https://git-scm.com/download/win](https://git-scm.com/download/win)
License: GNU GPL v2
- **TortoiseSVN**: Download from [https://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html](https://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html)
License: GNU GPL v2
Make sure to install these tools as part of your build environment. You may need to modify the build scripts to reflect the correct paths to these tools on your system.
Winamp forever! God save the llama! And may Britain forever rule the digital waves!
