Just tried it in cygwin. Using make 3.81 fails, using make-3.79.1 succeeds.
I assume your using the latest subversion from mplayer's site? That's what
you should be using.

You can check out this link for instructions:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/dvdnav-howto.txt

You'll have error messages in the root directory, irregardless of the
version of make you're using.  Change into the src/ directory and run make
3.79.1  in that directory and make install in that directory.

in mplayer you need to use the --disable-dvdread-internal option when
running configure to use your newly compiled and installed libdvdnav. You'll
probably have to use make-3.79.1 also in the build for mplayer.
