Did you try downloading the DLL posted on the author's page?

http://www.reitwiessner.de/programs/Latex.dll

That goes in ~/.config/tomboy/addins/ on OS X, iirc.

If you want to build yourself, I think you can just do this:

cd tomboy-latex-0.5/src/
cp /Applications/Tomboy/Contents/MacOS/Tomboy.exe .
gmcs -target:library -resource:Latex.addin.xml -r:Mono.Posix
-r:Tomboy.exe Latex.cs -out:Latex.dll

That should create a Latex.dll for you.  I'll have to think about the
best way for people to make their makefiles work on other platforms
where we aren't going to be present in pkg-config.

Glancing at the code, you're going to need 'latex', 'dvips', and
'convert' resolvable in your PATH if you want it to work.

Please let me know how this turns out, or if you need more help.

Best,
Sandy
