* 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
