A number of Carbon wrapper modules don't build on OSX 10.7:

$ make
...

Failed to build these modules:
_Fm _Qd _Qdoffs

This is with '--with-universal-archs=intel', which worked fine on OSX 10.6.

A short part of the compiler output:

Given the modules and failure it seems that a number of (long) deprecated Carbon functions got removed from Apple's header files.

[ronaldoussoren]

_Fm fails because the wrapped functionality is no longer present in the Headers (last seen in the QD.framework headers in the 10.6 SDK)

likewise for _Qdoffs and _Qd.

The attached patch changed the preprocessor guards around these bindings from

#ifndef __LP64__

To:

#if !defined(__LP64__) && !defined(MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_7)

That is, disable the bindings for these deprecated APIs when building for 64-bit code or when building with the 10.7 SDK (or later).

There is a small risk with this patch: I'm not 100% sure that Apple will refrain from adding a definition for MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_7 in a later release of the 10.6 SDK.

Patch is already applied (ages ago), forgot to close this issue.
