cannot find C:\MinGW\lib: Permission Denied

[Atifhossain]

I downloaded Code Blocks 12.11 , then downloaded the MinGW compiler and also SFML. Then I moved the (SMFL) folder from (SMFL../include ) to (C:/MinGw/include) and also copied all the .a files from (SMFL../lib) to (MinGw/lib). I then compiled and ran a hello world project in Code::Blocks

The build message says :

cannot find C:\MinGW\lib: Permission Denied
What to do ?
