some simple things that can cause problems in my experience (so make sure they are set!:) :

check to see if C:\MinGW\bin is in your path variable if not, add C:\MinGW\bin to your PATH (type %path% in a console window to ensure the path property is applied to the window console session you are using)
put glut32.dll into C:\windows\system32 so it can be located at runtime, or place it in the same directory as the executable you wish to run
Just checked and my minGW has glut32.dll in c:\mingw\bin
and libglut32.a in c:\mingw\lib
and glut.h should be in c:\mingw\include\GL

Apologies for the previous omission.

That should see you alright provided there are no other issues at play.

Let me know if you need more info/help :)

Addendum:

I located this link which whilst old may be of use to you in making the files available to mingw's environment.

Instead of #include<GL/glut.h>

Use #include "GL/glut.h"
