How to debug SNORT source code?

[Awais Ali via Snort-devel <snort-devel () lists snort org>]

Hello all,
I want to debug SNORT source code. For example,  i want to see how SNORT
source code works when packet comes, passes through decoder, preprocessors
and detection engine.
Actually i am writing my own preprocessor where i will have to modify
decode.c and other files but i am getting errors in different source files
so i want to debug SNORT source code. Is there any environment or IDE
doing this?
I tried with Eclipse but i am unable to debug SNORT inside eclipse.
Looking for help please.

Thanks,
Awais Ali
