How To Run under a Debugger (Windows)

Thanks to the instructions on various forums, I was able to build Mozilla Firebird under Windows (using Microsoft's compiler, not gcc). Now I would like to run it under the debugger. Since this is not a Visual Studio project, I am not sure how to proceed. I would appreciate any pointers to resources on this subject or comments from practitioners.

I haven't done this in a while but I think that you get the process id, run Develper Studio and attach to the process running Firebird. I'm not sure how Firebird is built and don't know if you get source-level debugging. If it is available, then you might have to set the file or the path for the source code. It might just work too.
