No.  Those are what is needed if you wish to build GCC yourself.

GCC is a command line program.

You didn't say which operating system you are using, but it is very
likely that there is a pre-built GCC that you can just install and it
will work.

Some operating systems have package management systems that will
install GCC for you.  For those that do not, you can get one by
following the links on this page:
