Because the file extension is recognized ? LFM is included as
RC_DATA, and probably everything that is not .lfm is assumed to be a
RC format.
I believe fpcres also has this check.
Thanks for the tip. I found it - it is directly in the compiler.
In comprsrc.pas TWinLikeResourceFile.IsCompiled there is a logic that
defines what the compiler does with the included resource file based
on the extension or file header.
I don't like the fact that there are hard-coded constants for what
seems to be (for a stranger) arbitrary file extensions and that it is
not documented anywhere.
Well, developers that are using lazarus and form files know what happens.
This is undoubtedly the majority of FPC users, so I don't think this
is an
issue.
It is still confusing - in pas2js any file can be added as a resource with:
{$R abc.xyz}
In FPC only LFM, so hence the question why and how :)

I checked the Wiki and Docs, but didn't find any information about it:
