LaTeXiT does not build on Snow Leopard x86_64, I attach the output of port install latexit.

Bare usernames in the cc field don't work. Shouldn't you be able to assign tickets anyway?

[jochen@…]

Yes, I am allowed to assign tickets -- I am simply not smart enough for the interface, I guess. Thanks for fixing this.

I don't have Snow Leopard, so I can't test/fix this. It's also entirely possible that the problem is in the software itself, rather than the portfile. Someone else want to have a go at it?

Cc Me!

I have made a portsfile for LaTeXiT 2.1.1 (instead of 1.16.1) that works fine, please update in the ports tree. The only changes are version number and hashes. Complies well on Snow leopard. I attache the file, can also be fond at ​http://www.insane.org/LaTeXit-Portfile.txt.

Thank you! I updated the Portfile in r66982.

This portfile doesn't work for me under 10.5 Intel. Errors out on the Sparkle framework:

I have no idea how XCode compiling works, so debugging and correcting isn't obvious to me. I can say that if I load the LaTeXiT xcodeproj (via the GUI), it doesn't compile either. I'm running on a MacBook Pro, 10.5.8 latest XCode and updates; MacPorts from SVN trunk (as a developer, since that's easier). I'm leaving as closed, since this issue is related but different (10.5, i386) -- but, adding this note as FYI. I use LaTeXiT as provided by the developer, compiled.
