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?
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
