Hi,

I was hacking on VersionInfo resource of Windows executables and I
noticed that DLLs built with dmake always have this resource, they
include solenv/inc/shlinfo.rc. But DLLs built with gmake does not have
VersionInfo resource by default. Is this normal? Executables are fully
functional without VersionInfo resource, but I think it is useful to
have it, because it contains file version, copyright notice etc. I
would like to ask, if it is by design, or if it is an undesired
omission.

Well, when I started writing gbuild I did not care to much for the Windows
specific resource files. However, support for it has been later added with
the aptly named solenv/gbuild/WinResTarget.mk. Using it to get VersionInfo
everywhere is possible (it is currently used for example in soffice.bin and
vcl), but I have no strong opinion about it.

Best,

Bjoern
