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?

is not found and in fact when I execute the program the resource is
not available).
Is there a way around it, other than executing the command manually?
If you mean the project .res file:
That is updated on save, which is independent of compile.
Ouch, so my projects that embed files as resources (and I also added
those files to the project to be sure they're tracked by lazarus) are
working by pure luck.
Or not, since a save happens anyway when the file is modified with
the lazarus editor and I use compile or build, right?
What happens if I edit the file with an external editor, it's not
currently opened in lazarus (so it won't prompt me to reload it) and
I press compile/build/run? Will the .res be regenerated or not?
As I said, for the problem at hand I changed the logic, but I'd like
to be sure that my project work by design and not by chance.

I wonder why, back when when I originally wrote the program with lazarus 2.0.12, neither the "interfaces" unit was needed nor the project pulled so many libraries. Depends on what you use from BGRA and what that uses from the LCL. I just use it to convert an image to jpeg and scale it to a fixed size, or to generate a jpeg image with a text in it. The use case is to manage user's avatars from a web application, if an image is provided then it's used as the avatar, otherwise a dummy avatar is generated with the user's initials. Most of the LCL requires the interfaces unit. I understand that, what I don't understand is why I didn't need it with lazarus 2.0.12 (and why the program could be build with gtk2 even without the interfaces unit). Keep in mind that the nogui widgetset is for most part an empty stub. That's why I'm not really comfortable with it, though it seems to be enough for this application.
