OpenMPT and libopenmpt

This repository contains OpenMPT, a free Windows/Wine-based tracker and libopenmpt, a library to render tracker music (MOD, XM, S3M, IT MPTM and dozens of other legacy formats) to a PCM audio stream. libopenmpt is directly based on OpenMPT, offering the same playback quality and format support, and development of the two happens in parallel.

How to compile

OpenMPT

• Supported Visual Studio versions:

  • Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 Community/Professional/Enterprise

    To compile the project, open build/vsVERSIONwin7/OpenMPT.sln (VERSION being 2017 or 2019) and hit the compile button. Other target systems can be found in the vs2017* and vs2019* sibling folders.

    Note that you have to build the PluginBridge and PluginBridgeLegacy projects manually for architectures other than the one you are building OpenMPT for, as Visual Studio only builds one architecture configuration at a time.

• OpenMPT requires the compile host system to be 64bit x86-64.

• The Windows 8.1 SDK is required to build OpenMPT with Visual Studio 2017 (this is included with Visual Studio, however may need to be selected explicitly during setup).

• Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) are required to build OpenMPT.
