Building JumpGo for Windows from Sources

This will guide you through building JumpGo for Windows.

If you have not downloaded the source and set up the build environment please do so now before proceeding.

Building the solution

Building the whole solution instead of one single project in the solution.

Building the entire solution will not build the JGSetupTBU project. To build JGSetupTBU please skip to that section.

  • Click Build>Build Solution or press F7

This will build JumpGo in its entirety.

Building the JumpGo Standard Edition Project

Building this project will build an executable application in either the JumpGo/bin/debug folder or the JumpGo/bin/release folder.

This will not build any other project in the solution and may result in limited functionality.

Method 1

  • Open the Solution Explorer
  • Navigate to the JumpGo Standard Edition project and Right Click the project
  • When the context menu appears, click Build

Method 2

Click Build>Build JumpGo Standard Edition

Building the JGUpdater Project

Building the JGUpdater Project will build an executable application in either the JGUpdater/bin/debug folder or the JGUpdater/bin/releases folder

This will not build any other project and will result in functionality only of the JGUpdater application. This will lack any JumpGo components or features

Method 1

  • Open the Solution Explorer
  • Navigate to the JGUpdater project and Right Click the project
  • When the context menu appears, click Build

Method 2

Click Build>Build JGUpdater

Building the JGSetupTBU Project

Building the JGSetupTBU Project will compress the assemblies of the JumpGo Standard Edition Project into the contents of the JGSetupTBU.msi installer package.

This will build the Installer package and nothing else. You should build the solution prior to building this project at least once.

Method 1

  • Open the Solution Explorer
  • Navigate to the JGSetupTBU project and Right Click the project
  • When the context menu appears, click Build

Method 2

This will build the setup project and launch the installer on your computer allowing you to test the installer immediately.

  • Open the Solution Explorer
  • Navigate to the JGSetupTBU project and Right Click the project
  • When the context menu appears, click Install
