For future reference, please cite what version of a package you're inquiring about, and where to get the sources. The libmpeg2 distributed in mpeg2dec v0.2.0 (http://www.linuxvideo.org/) should build out of the box with Cygwin. Just run configure to generate the Makefile (and include/inttypes.h), followed by make like any other package. $ tar -zxf mpeg2dec-0.2.0.tar.gz $ cd mpeg2dec-0.2.0 $ ./configure $ make [ note: there is a bug in configure, so you must configure in the source directory. Trivial fix in AC_CHECK_GENERATE_INTTYPES macro definition in aclocal.m4 to create the directory given by $1 before creating the file. ] With Mingw, you'll need to use configure etc to generate the Makefile (and include/inttypes.h), and libmpeg2 itself builds trivially. However, if you want to build mpeg2dec, you'll need to do the following: 1. Include winsock.h to get the definition of struct timeval. 2. Declare optind, optarg and link with libiberty.
