MinGW 4.7 Not Compiling

[Dante12129]

I installed MinGW 4.7 and C::B won't compile with it. I installed it into C/MinGW and made C::B use that directory as a compiler. I changed the files it uses to the ones in the bin there. Now, it gives me the message:

-------------- Build: Debug in C++11 Test ---------------

Linking console executable: bin\Debug\C++11 Test.exe
Execution of '-g++.exe  -o "bin\Debug\C++11 Test.exe" obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\Users\Main\Documents\C++ Test\C++11 Test' failed.
Nothing to be done.

What's the problem and the fix?

I suggest trying to not use spaces in the exe name or the path containing the project.
But, this might not be your problem; just a quick guess.

Edit: No idea if the space resulting in the Compiler or Code::Blocks failing to work.

I removed the space and it still won't compile. Now I get this message:

-------------- Build: Debug in C++11_Test ---------------

Linking console executable: bin\Debug\C++11 Test.exe
obj\Debug\main.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Assuming the compiler is correctly installed, it is probably the plus "+" signs in the path and the executable name that are causing problems.

Ok, removing the plus signs made it work now. It compiles and runs in C::B, but when I run the exe it gives me the message, "The program can't start because libgcc_s_dw2.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Why are you people so damn lazy these days and you cannot complain that there is a lack of good search engines available.
See how simple it is: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=libgcc_s_dw2.dll

I tried adding compiler flags, changing the PATH variable, and using the TDM MinGW, and it still won't work outside of C::B without putting the libraries in the same place as the executable.
