Running Code::Blocks 16.01 with MinGW on Windows 7 x64 machine.

I installed Code::Blocks 16.01 with MinGW only to find MinGW didnt get installed so I had to install it separately.

I am now trying to install freeglut 3.0.0 but have run into some issues whilst working through the tutorial on the wiki http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Using_FreeGlut_with_Code::Blocks.

1) it says to copy the unzipped freeglut folder's contents into C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\mingw which doesnt exist but there is a C:\MinGW folder.

2) it then says "If it asks you to overwrite folders, that's OK, say yes. It will not overwrite anything important." is this correct?  Wouldnt that mean over writing MinGW's Include & Lib folders?

3) then it says to copy freeglut.dll to the Windows folder I am guessing it means the freeglut.dll found in the ..bin/x64 folder?

Thanks
