Hi,
please avoid top-posting, it is frowned upon in this ML. Sorry for the
late reply.

What are the functions that failed to resolve in libdvdread.a? If its
about _dvdcss_open or _dvdcss_disckey, you need to add "-ldvdcss" when
linking.

Here is what I did under MSYS/MinGW, it may be slighly different for Cygwin:

Run "autoreconf -i -v -f" while in libdvdread folder.
Run "./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-shared --enable-static
-DHAVE_DVDCSS_DVDCSS_H"
Copy libtool from /mingw/bin [1]
Run "make"
add "-ldvdcss" to link command if needed.
Run "make && make install" to continue.

Use the same procedure for libdvdnav.
