Why do I need to compile ffmpeg only directly on PC on which I will develop application which will use ffmpeg libraries?

I am going to develop an application which will use ffmpeg library on my PC under Windows 8 on it. I am also going to develop my program with using Visual Studio. I have read here that to use ffmpeg as a library in my project I need compile ffmpeg at first.

The compilation ffmpeg on OS Windows is really not very easy. And I want to know why it is impossible to compile ffmpeg on Windows at once and then use this build on any computer running OS Windows? Why we cant do this?
May be someone can give me all that *.lib files that were created after compiling ffmpeg on Windows?
