Minor source code change to remove containers of constant elements, to be C++14 compliant.

sdna_integral has been briefly tested, and worked.

As before, geos_c.dll from: https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2/x86_64/release/geos/geos-3.12.0-1.tar.bz2 (source code: https://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.12.0.tar.bz2)

Boost: boost_1.72_lib64-msvc-14.0_chrono_date_time_math_random_system_thread_only.zip extracted from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.72.0/boost_1_72_0-msvc-14.0-64.exe/download (source code: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.72.0/)

A release without sdna_learn or sdna_predict, allowing the zip file to be 0.61% the size of the previous one.

Without these two tools, Numpy isn't required by the user, shipping R portable is unneccessary (the removed files are in https://github.com/JamesParrott/sdna_plus/tree/sdna_plus_plus_extras_(R_portable) for now).

sdna_integral has been briefly tested, and worked.

The geos_c.dll is from: https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2/x86_64/release/geos/geos-3.12.0-1.tar.bz2 (source code: https://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.12.1.tar.bz2)

Download sDNA_5.0.1_VS_2012_VC_11_Geos_from_shapely_x64_release_experimental_unstable.zip and unzip it in the chosen installation dir. Run using Python 3.

A simple run of sDNA_integral was successful. No other testing has been done.

Notes:

Source code changes

Various references to shared_ptr changed to boost::shared_ptr, as VS2012 is more like C++11 now (which has std::shared_ptr) than C++03/98 (which does not).
Check the commits or do a diff, but I don't recall any other changes to the source, just to the VS_2012 config files (which have a different extension to the VS_2008 config files anyway)

Compiler / linker Deps:

Geos was not compiled. geos_c.dll was just copied from shapely-2.0.2-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl ("\shapely.libs\geos_c-69e7a24742c4fc930f28f9e1af49d3da.dll") and renamed. (source code: https://github.com/shapely/shapely)

Boost is still 1.55.0, but the version compiled under VC 11 (VS 2012). The required files and binaries are in boost_1_55_0_lib64-msvc-11.0.zip. The installer they came from, requires an extra 2.5GB to store binaries that sDNA probably doesn't need: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0-msvc-11.0-64.exe/download (source code: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.55.0/)

Download and unzip sDNA_5.0.1_VS_2012_VC_11_Geos_from_osgeo.org_x64_release_experimental_unstable.zip where you want to install it.

Also required: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/#visual-studio-2012-vc-redistributable

The geos_c.dll in this one, was from the OSGEO4W installer: http://osgeo4w.osgeo.org/, selecting an advanced install, and then the download only option. This just downloaded: https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2/x86_64/release/geos/geos-3.11.2-1.tar.bz2 (source code: https://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.11.2.tar.bz2)

Required for compilation only - boost_1_55_0lib64-msvc-9.0.zip

While working on sDNA, I currently have two versions of Visual Studio installed, two versions of Boost, several sDNA repos, as well as Windows 11, and Docker. Despite uninstalling Windows Subsystem For Linux (Ubuntu 22.04), I have nearly filled my 100GB SSD!

To save hard disk space for future rebuilds, boost_1_55_0lib64-msvc-9.0.zip contains a stripped down installation of the boost 1.55.0 libraries neeed to compile sDNA under Visual Studio 2008. It contains exactly the same files that the installer https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0-msvc-9.0-64.exe/download (SHA1: 97f559917917adc2b992bac57b1e12940656a459) produces, without the 2.5GB-3GB of binaries sDNA doesn't seem to use (I deleted them). Only the binaries for the boost libraries: chrono, date_time, math, system, threading and random are included.
