Dunno if you've tried this and it didn't do what you want, but what I do
is in the dependancies, instead of depending on the .bin files, I depend
on a bin.stamp file, i.e.
myapp.prc: myapp bin.stamp
<build application>
and then bin.stamp depends on the .rcp file, and is touched when the
resources are rebuilt:
bin.stamp: myapp.rcp
pilrc myapp.rcp
touch bin.stamp
I've had no problems with this solution, and the cygwin tools include a
touch program, so it'll work on MS platforms as well as unix/linux.
Hope that helps,
