Premake5 - beta3

[Carluccio]

windows 10.
premake5 - beta3.
mingw-64.

I have a file-rc.
With gmake no problem. With gmake2 premake5 -beta3 it crashes because it does not find and does not create the obj/..... folders.
If I create them first and manually, no problem, it finds them and writes the.res file and the object files to them.

Would it be possible for you to upload a minimum reproducing sample?

@Jarod42 can we get an integration test in your samples project to have verification against this bug?

Checking rc was in my TODO list.
Issue I have is to check that rc file is really compiled and not simply ignored.
(I accept PRs ;-) )

Just added project-rc (in branch), and I don't spot the issue (I generated also regular objs, that might explain why).
Non-windows fails as windres is not found for gmake/gmake2 (and ninja)

When reading generated makefiles,

• for gmake: there is an explicit dependency between $(OBJECTS) and $(OBJDIR), but nothing for $(RESOURCES) (but build "after" (but possibly at the same time) $(OBJECTS).
• for gmake2: It is similar with intermediate prebuild.

As I understand both are missing dependencies.
make -j1 should work in both case though
make -j1 objdir/resource.res should fail in both case

In premake5-beta3, the defect I mentioned only exists if the .rc file is the first in alphabetical order to the others.
