No. On Windows, C compilers provide their own headers.
(I build mine from looking at the C standard, from online docs such as
msdn, and peeking at existing headers, but you can't use them directly
as they tend to be compiler-specific.)
Library files (I assume you mean .a/.lib) are not needed as it is
possible to link directly to shared libraries, such as msvcrt.dll.
