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.
