Winamp, a beloved multimedia player from 1997 known for its flexibility and compatibility with various audio formats, has millions of loyal users. Although its development has slowed down, the source code is now open to the community for modernization. Building the Winamp desktop client involves using Visual Studio 2019 and Intel IPP libs. Dependencies like libvpx, libmpg123, OpenSSL, DirectX 9 SDK, and Microsoft ATLMFC lib need to be unpacked and processed. Surprisingly, the process includes modifying certain files and requires tools like 7-Zip, NASM, and Perl. The journey to build Winamp continues with version 6.1.1.035 of Intel IPP.
