It looks like a problem with smpeg instead of pgmpeg. The smpeg package 
comes with a sample player(gtv). Can you test it and tell us if you can 
compile/link/run it ? This way we can know who is the guilty :)

Im not an expert(or something) in windows development, but i've seen that 
to export a symbol from dll, one has to put some extra things to mark it 
for export ? 

Also, a simpler way to test is just create a .cpp and in the main() create 
an instance of MPEG:

----
#include "MPEG.h"
int main() { MPEG *m = new MPEG("hellomom", true); return 0; }
---

and try to compile and link it. If it works, well, i'll have to check 
pgmpeg.
