This line: "Open a console again. Get to C:\mingw\allegro and type in fix mingw32."

There's no C:\mingw\allegro directory.

The author of that step by step guide made a big mistake: he says you must download allegro and then unzip it in C:\allegro or anywhere you want. Later, he says you should go to C:\mingw\allegro. That's not even the directory that he suggested, and, also, he said you could unzip it anywhere you want. Assuming that "anywhere you want" is C:\mingw\allegro is most likely going to be wrong. What you have to do is to go into the folder where you decompressed allegro (check it has a file called fix.bat). From that point on, you can continue with the process.

For any problems compiling, installing and using allegro, the right place to ask is their forums.

I've had the same problem, and couldn't find fix.bat either. As far as I can tell I followed the instructions accurately. Is there any way it might not have been included - and if so, where might we find/put it?

That has nothing to do with codeblocks.  Please try irc #allegro or a forum for allegro to help with its installation.  Maybe even try the 'Official' allegro site that I took the time to look up when creating the wiki article.
