[Tox Support] Right Order of commands from Tox

[nurupo]

Hi,

If you want to learn how to use toxcore, the public API header file 
explains that 
https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/toxcore/tox.h. It is 
very well documented.
There is also an example of using toxcore to write a simple echo bot 
https://wiki.tox.chat/developers/client_examples/echo_bot.

If you want to compile toxcore for Windows, you need a compiler with a 
full support of C99 standard. Visual Studio has only partial support of 
C99, so you won't be able to compile toxcore using Visual Studio. There 
is also no support for compilation with Visual Studio in the toxcore's 
build system because of that. You need to use mingw-w64 or clang 
compilers to compile toxcore on Windows. I personally suggest building 
Windows toxcore on a Linux system, using mingw-w64 cross-compiler, as it 
seems to be easier than compiling toxcore directly on a Windows system, 
because some of the toxcore's dependencies use autotools build system 
which requires msys to run on Windows. You can find instructions on how 
to cross-compile toxcore for Windows at 
https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/blob/master/INSTALL.md#cross-compile.
