I was just wondering if you were compiling to get a header? like
/home/Desktop main.c
and the header for that was in
/home/Desktop/h
i would probably have to
gcc -I./h main.c main
Something like that but I was wondering if i just added in the path
export PATH=$PATH:/home/Desktop/h
Would that be the same thing as linking in the compile line so i would only have to
gcc -o main.c main
I do not think that the compiler will check the system path for include locations, but it depends on the compiler implementation.

Not the system path, but gcc does follow $C_INCLUDE_PATH, which is undefined by default.
C_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/C/include
The g++ equivalent is CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH.
Also, gcc/g++ or ld (the GNU linker) follows this one:
LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib
You can export those from your .bashrc. Then you can compile yer libraries, put them ~/lib, put the headers in ~/C/include, and use:
gcc whatever.c -lmylibCode:#include <myheader.h>
