There are currently no instructions on how to build toxcore on Windows host in Microsoft Visual Studio's Developer Command Prompt. Contribution of the instructions is welcome! In addition to meeting the [requirements](#requirements), you need a version of Visual Studio (the [community edition](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/visual-studio-express/) is enough) and a CMake version that's compatible with the Visual Studio version you're using.
You must also ensure that the msvc versions of dependencies you're using are placed in the correct folders.
For libsodium that is `c-toxcore/libsodium`, and for pthreads-w32, it's `c-toxcore/pthreads-win32`
Once all of this is done, from the **Developer Command Prompt for VS**, simply run
```
mkdir _build
cd _build
cmake ..
msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj
```
