First you must recompile FXRuby and especially Fox with all debugging
information turned on. Then it should be possible to attach MSVC to
the ruby.exe process. But make sure that the *.pdb files are put in
the same dir as the dll.

And remeber it's far from easy so be prepared that spend a lot of
time.
