Easiest fix is to simply copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (it should be located somewhere similar to C:\MinGW\bin or C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin) into the same folder as the .exe.

Alternatively, add the following two switches to your linker options:
-static-libgcc
-static-libstdc++

Thanks for the solution, I first had two errors, one for libstdc++6.dll and one for libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, now the error for libstdc++6.dll has solved but the error for libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll still remains.

You need to add the right linker option for your compiler; I suggest reading about your compiler to find out the option you need to add; note, I know little to nothing about your compiler it might NOT have any option to fix your problem.
