Did you download the 25 or so external libraries/source projects that ffmpeg uses? Likely it is unable to locate the headers provided by them.

Take a look at the Windows focused build here: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/
Most likely you can find what you are looking for here, but as Matthew mentioned, don't expect it to be a walk in the park.

To be honest you're better off looking for downloadable Windows binaries. The last time I came across anyone successfully building ffmpeg for Windows it was a whole team of experienced people, they were only building a subset and it took them a week or more to work it out. That's not to say there's not somebody here who knows how to do it but you'll be very lucky if they an walk you through it successfully.
