You have to be more specific than "it won't run" if you really expect help for your problem.

Did you already take a look at the tutorials?

And you really don't get this error when compiling SDL or other projects? This doesn't look like an SFML-specific issue at all.

Add the -static-libgcc linker option, or copy the DLL from your mingw/bin directory to the same directory as your executable.
