Do I need afxres.h, if I am not using MFC? How do I remove it from the .RC script?

versioninfo

I don't know RC scripts.

I want to include Product version, File version, etc. metadata into a DLL I'm building. I'm using an .rc file to do that. The build is makefile driven. I'm following along with an example .rc scrpit I found.

The template .rc file includes afxres.h , but I don't think I need that. But if I just remove it I get a bunch of compile errors.

What does a basic, non-MFC RC script look like? Can I remove all the stuff like this:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// English (U.S.) resources

#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)
#ifdef _WIN32
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
#pragma code_page(1252)
#endif //_WIN32

....
