FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Is debugging MineTest with Visual Studio is possible? I mean, I have in mind that if I do copy all libraries into sources\bin and then copy game directory into sources then I will get something that looks like install directory that INSTALL is making, but a... is there any way I can debug the .exe that lies into install\bin directory? It would feel more natural if you ask me. I know, this must be a very noob question, but I really stumbled by this)

Should be possible, of course. I never used VS Debugger... but should be as simple as 'gdb minetest'
