And even if I use a different rc file with {$R myspec.rc}, if the 
source file with the directive doesn't change it won't be automtically 
recompiled so no regeneration of the resource file would take place, 
even if one of the files in myspec.rc has changed, right?


Yes. The IDE/Compiler have no knowledge what you put in the .rc
If you don't want the have it rebuild every time you need some logic in 
your "rc builder" you call in the prebuild step


But if I use the "resources" section in the project options *and* put 
the file in the project, the IDE could check that the file changed and 
regenerate the resource file ;-)
(which is what I supposed it did: even if the wiki page doesn't say it 
explicitly it seems to imply so).

In this case, don't use the project.res, but use your own. You can 
include multiple resource files. So you can generate it before.


I just followed the instructions here (and have been doing it for many 
years, even if this is the first time I tried to generate the file 
with "Execute before"):


https://wiki.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Project_Options#Resources

though it doesn't say exactly when it is regenerated ("depending on 
the actions taken in the IDE") it also says "it is therefore a good 
idea to add the files that are indicated here to the project file as 
well".


And even if I use a different rc file with {$R myspec.rc}, if the source 
file with the directive doesn't change it won't be automtically 
recompiled so no regeneration of the resource file would take place, 
even if one of the files in myspec.rc has changed, right?
