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