Thanks, that worked. But it's strange not working the way I had it because I did place the path to the dll's in the PATH variable
The program(s), minGW GCC and Code::Blocks, might not like spaces or special characters in the path to the files. Normally, system32 subdirectory does not have either.

And the most user-dirs on Win contain spaces, because they are subdirectories of "Documents and Settings" or the libs are in the program subdir and on english systems it is called "Program Files".
So "system32" is a good choice in the most cases.
