question to the subpackage feature

[Andreas Otto]

Hi,

 I have integrated an subpackage into an already existing package
 everything works well but one problem still exists

  the debugging feature is turned on in the toplevel package with
  --enable-symbols and in the subpackage with --enable-debug
  some kind of translation is necessary

        -> how I can do this ?

  in generell all commandline arguments from the toplevel
  package are send to the subpackage even if the arguments
  have no meaning in the subpackage

        -> how I solve this issue ?


example:

toplevel ...
+ bash ./configure --prefix=/tmp/libmsgque-install --enable-symbols --enable-
tcl --enable-cxx --enable-threads

subpackage ...
=== configuring in tokyocabinet-1.4.39 
(/home/dev1usr/Project/libbrain/tokyocabinet-1.4.39)
configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --disable-option-checking '--
prefix=/tmp/libmsgque-install'  '--enable-symbols' '--enable-tcl' '--ena
ble-cxx' '--enable-threads' 'CC=ccache gcc' 'CXX=ccache g++' --cache-
file=/dev/null --srcdir=.


in addition: confiure --help does only show the help-page from the
toplevel package and does not provide any information from the
subpackage ...
