After edit ebuild, dev-php/jpgraph successfull compiled with dev-lang/php[gd-external].

Any build logs of the failure or anything alike ?

[Comment 3 Denis I. Polukarov 2011-06-22 07:23:34 UTC]

I need to use dev-php/jpgraph with dev-lang/php[gd-external], but ebuild need dev-lang/php[gd]... I've manually edit ebuild every time after --sync.

So, basically you'd like a '|| (dev-lang/php[gd] dev-lang/php[gd-external])' dep ?

Why do you need to use external gd instead of the bundled version? Using the external version is not really supported.

Because media-libs/gd is in system already, and I can control it use flags.

gd-external will probably be removed, so I am not adding support to it to other packages. PHP internals recommend always using the bundled version as it contains some extra features.
