Project runs fine via F9, but crashes outside?

[lmsmi1]

I've built a custom DLL in CodeBlocks 12.11 with MinGW, and have linked my executable to it. When I run the executable via F9 in Code::Blocks, it does everything I want it to do. However when I double-click it outside of Code::Blocks, it opens, but immediately crashes. Is this an issue with MinGW, Code::Blocks, or what? Are there any fixes?

Note: The DLL is in the same folder of the executable that uses the functions inside it.

Did you copy the DLLs needed by your project into the same folder as the exe?

If not, you need to do so; or at least make sure the DLLs are in the system PATH.

NOTE: It likely is missing the mingw DLL mingwm10.dll and maybe some other DLLs.
