I emailed Pierre Chatelier, the guy who wrote and maintains LaTeXiT, about this issue 6 months ago. He wasn't able to figure out how to fix it -- apparently, the problem is with the Sparkle updater framework, not with LaTeXiT directly. I've sent him another email asking if he's made any progress. If any developers have any experience with Sparkle, could they look over the codebase and see if there are any glaring issues?

I've emailed Pierre as well a few days ago; no answer yet. I then played around in XCode under 10.5 to see if I could resolve the issue. If you order the targets as "Automator-CreateEquations", then "LaTeXiT Helper", and finally "LaTeXiT" then everything compiles and works correctly, without errors. Using either "All" target, whether as Development or Deployment, results in 1 or 2 errors under 10.5, and performs unnecessary tasks on the side (e.g., creating the DMG containing LaTeXiT and readme files). I don't know how to order multiple XCode targets in a Portfile, but maybe someone else does?

I'm attaching a Portfile diff that works for me on 10.5 Intel. Please give it a try on whatever OSX version you have. It simply changes the target from "All" to what I wrote above in that order, and the configuration to "Development" since that seems to work without errors.

LaTeXiT Portfile diff to allow for clean build on 10.5 (and, hopefully 10.6).
