Building PostgreSQL in Eclipse on Windows

    Can anyone help me figure out how to run/debug PostgreSQL in Eclipse
    on Windows?  This is a cross post with
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34733991/building-postgresql-in-eclipse-on-windows
    :

    
    I'm trying to build PosgreSQL in Eclipse CDT Mars on
      Windows using the MinGW-64 gcc 5.3.0
    I installed MSYS2 and used pacman to update all the software
      that came with it and install gcc etc.
    I downloaded the PostgreSQL
      source code and tried to follow the docs but can't figure out where to download the
        dependencies? 1. libreadline5-dev,
      2. zlib1g-dev,
      3. bison (YACC),
      4. flex and where to save them to
      on disk?
    I ran ./configure --prefix=$HOME/project --enable-depend --enable-cassert --enable-debug and it seems to have
      completed with no errors, but I do not see anything at $HOME/project?
    I installed Eclipse CDT and
      added the include paths to the Environment:
    I imported the project as
      Existing Code as Makefile Project.
    When I try to build the project Eclipse says Info: Nothing to build for postgres
    When I try to run it a
      dialog box says Unable to Launch.  The selection can not be launched and there are no recent launches
    How can I run/debug
      PostgreSQL in Eclipse on Windows?
    Thanks!
