Optimization idea for rescomp

[Stephane-D]

Hi @thomasgoldstein

Normally if make was doing a correct job, it would only rebuild required file and so using rescomp to rebuild resources only if resource files as .png were modified, the .d file are generated for that exact reason (to properly handling file dependency). The problem is that make is not handling that correctly and usually rebuild the whole even when they didn't changed. I should investigate that problem, maybe the issue is in the makefile itself.
Still you solution is probably better suited for your needs ;)

I'm closing this because I think it's not a useful suggestion after all, and I'm going to consider alternatives. Sorry!

My current idea: after having generated png images, my script is going to update the concerned .res files just to update their dates and lead rescomp to regenerate the *.d and *.o files only when needed.
