From 229cb0fcdb7957b19d7042b000d803ae58cc6593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabriel Nagy Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 02:33:08 +0300 Subject: [Win32] long path name support [Bug #12551] Implement long path support on Windows by applying Microsoft's recommended application manifest. To make this work on both Visual C++ and MinGW, include the manifest as a resource when generating the resource files. This way it will be embedded into the executables generated by both compilers. It's important for the manifest resource to have ID 1, otherwise GCC will embed a default manifest. Note that in addition to this, the user needs to have [long paths enabled] either by modifying the registry or by enabling a group policy.
