I am not the command line debug freak ;-)

I used Code::Blocks as IDE having integrated debugger using MIngW environment.
There where recepies to compile and debug Incscape using Eclipse. Currently I have a Book from the library that explains that :-)

Both workflows use btool as builder and use the hast platform for debugging.

Please let me know if you need more directions here.

Adib.

Our current debugging process on Windows involves simply using
commandline GDB. I don't know whether any of our Windows developers
figured out how to make everything work in an IDE.

Basically the same as make, but to create a workable application you
need to write "btool dist". This will create an "inkscape" directory
that contains the main binary and all the required libraries.
