When I load emacs, it gives me this error using --debug-init after adding cl-lib.el:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function gv-define-simple-setter)
(gv-define-simple-setter buffer-file-name set-visited-file-name t)

load-with-code-conversion("c:/Users/Psalm3_3/.emacs" "c:/Users/Psalm3_3/.emacs" t t)

This is the gv.el file I am using:
https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/emacs-lisp/gv.el
Does anyone have any suggestions? TIA.
UPDATE:
Here is the original error I was getting:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "cl-lib")
require(cl-lib)
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*<2>> nil "d:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/desktop.el" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 5870

UPDATE 2:
Thank you for the excellent post, @Thomas. This is what I've updated the start of my .emacs file to:
;; setup load-path
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/gv.el")
(require 'gv)
(add-to-list 'load-path "D:/Tools/Emacs-24.3/cl-lib")
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp")
;; Load lisp files on start
(mapc 'load (file-expand-wildcards "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/flymake.el"))
(mapc 'load (file-expand-wildcards "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/csharp-mode.el"))
(mapc 'load (file-expand-wildcards "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/desktop.el"))
(mapc 'load (file-expand-wildcards "C:/Tools/emacs-24.3/site-lisp/session.el"))
Now this is the error I'm getting:

Sorry, I'm pretty new at LISP.
The code you have for cl-lib looks very weird. If you have Emacs≥24.3 then you already have cl-lib builtin. And if you have something older then you can't use Emacs-24.3's cl-lib (you have to use GNU ELPA's cl-lib instead, but if it's sufficiently older you won't have GNU ELPA support builtin either, so all in all you're better up upgrading your Emacs to 24.3 or more recent).
If your Emacs is 24,1 or 24.2, then I recommend you just install cl-lib via M-x package-install RET and then add
(package-initialize)
at the beginning of your ~/.emacs which will properly setup autoloads for those packages you install via package.el (such as cl-lib above).
The block that starts with (if (require 'cl-lib ...) ...) looks like an ugly hack to work around a problem you mis-understood. Just remove it.
Also, remove flymake.el and desktop.el from your site-lisp, the version that comes with Emacs is probably more up-to-date.
