For every dependency library there is the corresponding
import library and headers bundled in the installer.
Look at the lib/ and include/ subdirectories.
The installer does not ship with the source code of
every library built as that's not the intended purpose
of a binary distribution.
So if you want to use the glob library, you'll find what
you need in the installer.

Everything required to build octave and all libraries octave
depends on from source you find here:
