I have Xcode "projects" partly created for the first app, but I have not tried it yet for the second app, which I am interested in at the moment. I just got all the automake files working enough to make the second app a runnable program.
So now, my second app can compile and link using automake on MacOS. I run my app, but it does not work right and I want to debug it. Can I use Xcode to debug this app, just like I might use Insight or DDD on Linux?
I did not create Xcode projects yet because most of the code is made up of 20 libraries that would need Xcode projects, as far as I can tell. Can I be lazy a little longer, or do I have to go back and make many Xcode projects before I can debug?
Create an empty project, create a Custom Executable, set it to invoke your app, and point it at your sources. You can launch and run in the Xcode debugger, stop at breakpoints, etc.

You will also need to disable lazy symbol loading in Xode->Preferences 'Debugging' when you are using an external build system target.
