wsls

• Purpose: This patch should make any x86/x64 applications support LongPath on win7+
• Feature: This patch can make Android ndk r14 or later support LongPaths on win7+ x64
• Update since v3.4: Android ndk(r14b~r21e) ndk-build/cmake works on win7+ x64
• Remark: Please ensure your anti-virus software allow wsls-core.dll & wow64helper.exe

Core files description

• wsls-core.dll: the core file to make any application support Long Paths
• wow64helper.exe: the inject helper for inject wsls-core.dll to target application

Who need this patch?

• You only want windows, and encounter long path issue on exist software system, such as android ndk,sdk
• Even win10 provide LongPath ware system config, but still doesn't works for android build system when path too long
• Some windows system command does't support long path even open system LongPath ware config, may windows bug or performance purpose,
  if you find the commands: copy, md, del, echo works with long path on future release of win10, please info me.

1. Set env var ANDROID_NDK to your android ndk root directory
2. Set env var ANDROID_SDK to your android sdk root directory
