The BibDesk target should include the QuickLook-BibDesk target, so it should just be compiled together. But the one you mentioned is a different copy at a higher level of the repository (in trunk). The BibDesk project looks for the external inside the bibdesk directory (which is a copy). So I don’t understand why it does not complain about this one missing, it should. BTW, you don’t need a snapshot of the whole trunk, that includes a lot of files you don’t need to build BibDesk. You could just get separate snapshots of bibdesk, QuickLook-BibDesk, bibdesk_vendorsrc, and SkimNotes, and reassemble them inside bibdesk to simulate the externals with the expected directory names (bibdesk/QuickLook-BibDesk, bibdesk/vendorsrc, and bibdesk/SkimNotes).
