You're trying to use the NSTextFinder object on Lion, from an app whose base SDK is Tiger. Xcode is sensitive to what the base SDK is.
* Symbols exclusive to a later SDK than then base shouldn't be compilable or linkable at all. I'm unsure how you got past this barrier. This leads me to believe that either you've instituted a gigantic hack, or your description of your situation is inaccurate. Care to elaborate?
* To preserve backward compatibility, when OS version N detects that an application has been linked against SDK version (M < N), it does not provide bug-fixes or other changes that were instituted after version M. Even if you managed somehow to add NSTextFinder to your headers and libraries, Cocoa would not provide behavior that NSTextFinder may rely on.
But the fact that you could build at all suggests that I don't understand what you're doing. Could you clarify?
