you mean turned *on*? The pango binaries that are distributed from
ftp.gnome.org are compiled with debug messages enables. Just set the
environment variable PANGO_WIN32_DEBUG to some value and lots of
debugging output will be printed to stdout. You probably will want to
cross-check with the source code to find what each output refers to,
though.

Presumably a MSYS hickup. It thinks the "/*" that is part of a
command-line argument passed to glib-mkenums means the Unix-style file
name (wildcard pattern) /* and turns that into the corresponding
Win32-style file name... I don't know why MSYS does that, though, as
glib-mkenums is a Perl script that runs the MSYS /bin/perl, isn't it,
so MSYS shouldn't do its automatic Unix->Win32 file name conversion.
