I understand.
Most repos have a "./pack" script that correctly builds all assets.
You can then place them as "v0.0.0" (as _v0-0-0) in the updates directory. If you put Portmaster into dev mode (--devmode) it will load the v0.0.0 versions first. You might want to also disable automatic updates - or ignore the automatically downloaded versions.
Compiling for Windows without a cert works, but the OS will refuse to load the driver. You'd need to switch to a special Windows developer mode and sign it with a local certificate.
As I said, this is an area where we need to improve.
