"ls /mingw/bin" should show that gcc.exe is in /mingw/bin and "echo $PATH" 
should list /mingw/bin as being in the search path.  If both of these are 
true, then "which gcc" should return "/mingw/bin/gcc" and the FFTW install 
should work.  If not, you need to figure out if gcc is missing or if the 
shell just can't find it.

Let us know what you find, because sometimes things change and the 
instructions stop working and need to be updated.
