I store a few lines in an .inc file that periodically changes. I used .inc because several scripts use this same info. Is there a way to have the scripts automatically recompile if the .inc info changes? (I know I can create a script with the “compile” command and hardcode the names of the scripts in it, but is there a more efficient way to do this.)

Recompile script when an .inc file changes

I have not tested this, but you might try running the .was file instead of the .wax file. I believe this will recompile and run the script, but I am not certain if it does it only if the .was file is newer than the .wax file, or if it will perform the compile regardless.
Hi, I use the "make" utility from With a suitably configured makefile, you can run make each time you change an include file and those projects which include that file will be rebuilt.
