A portable stopwatch written using .NET Core

Build requirements

Windows

• Download .NET core 1.0.3: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847097 (64-bit, EXE), https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847091 (64-bit, ZIP), https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847102 (32-bit, EXE), or https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847092 (32-bit, ZIP) (or use a later version if one is available)
• Download InnoSetup 5.5.9 unicode: http://files.jrsoftware.org/is/5/innosetup-5.5.9-unicode.exe (or download InnoSetup studio 5.5.9 unicode: http://files.jrsoftware.org/ispack/innosetup-qsp-5.5.9-unicode.exe) (or use a later version if one is available)
• Download Cygwin (only base tools): https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe (32-bit) or https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe (64-bit systems)

Mac OS X

Note: you will not be able to install InnoSetup or Cygwin on this platform. Software installation programs will not be buildable.

• Download .NET core 1.0.3: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847009 (64-bit, PKG) or https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847094 (64-bit, GZIP TAR archive) (or any later version if one is available)

Linux

Note: you will not be able to install InnoSetup or Cygwin on this platform. Software installation programs will not be buildable.

• Download .NET core (see https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/linux)

Building

Building the stopwatch itself

• Open a BASH shell (using cygwin (Windows) or Terminal (Mac OS X/Linux))
• Navigate to the directory where you wish to clone this repository (or, if this repository has already been cloned, navigate to the directory where it has been cloned)
• Ensure that the dotnet tools are in your PATH environment variable and that they are usable (try compiling a new project (dotnet new console and then dotnet build inside the project folder)).
• If dotnet is usable and is ready, re-navigate back to this repository's folder in your file system and run ./build.sh.

Building the installers

Note: Only for windows hosts!

• Open the setupfiles folder.
• Click on one of the .iss files to open it in InnoSetup or InnoSetup Studio.
• Go to the project menu and click 'compile'.

Running the stopwatch

Go to bin\release\netcoreapp<ncaver>\<target> (or, if you published the build, navigate to bin\release\netcoreapp<ncaver>\<target>\publish) and click on stopwatch.exe, where <ncaver> is the .NET Core App version (like 1.1 or 1.0) and <target> is one of the RIDs available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/core/rid-catalog.

Contributing

If you'd like to contribute, simply send me a pull request and I'll add it. (Your pull request should be something useful, like fixing a bug, adding a new feature, etc. Useless code (like malicious code) will not be excepted.)

Have fun with the Stopwatch!
