Compiling Anura3D with new versions of VisualStudio (VS2026) or Intel Toolkits (2025.3.1)

[MateuME]

This is not mandatory or even recomendable to work with Anura3D but in case anyone downloads the new Intel Toolkits or VS2026, I hope these instructions will save some time.

Here I summarize the key points for moving to VS2026 or updating Intel Base or HPC Toolkits:

• Requirements for VisualStudio2026:

The new version (2025.3.1) of Intel Base and HPC Toolkits are needed. They can be downloaded from:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/toolkits.html

Intel oneAPI Fortran new compiler is more strict with declarations, and at line 304 of fileO.for it interprets the logical FExist as an external function reference when it is defined in the same file, entering into a name conflict. To avoid that problem comment the lines as follows:

• Updateing Intel Toolkits to work with VisualStudio2022:

The new version (2025.3.1) of Intel Base and HPC Toolkits can be downloaded from the same link as stated above.
After the installation, the Intel FEE has to be downloaded from
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=intel-corporation.FortranExpressionEvaluator and installed.
