Hello,
It took me more than 4 hours to get openFrameworks to compile deployExamples on MacOS X 10.7.2 with XCode 4.1, because of having to figure out two things;

1. Need to change SDK for the deployExamples project definitions to 10.6
2. Need to choose deployExamples in the build menu on the toolbar of the project window.

Perhaps this info should be added to the readme.txt file of the present master branch in order to spare other people the hassle?

I suggest the following addition:
=====
To deploy openFrameworks examples from the files cloned via the present github repository, you should build and run the project:
apps/devApps/_DeployExamples/deployExamples.xcodeproj

To successfully compile in Lion (MacOS X 10.7) in XCode you should select in the project file list of XCode both the target deployExamples from the top level of the file hierarchy and the project openFrameworksLib.xcodeproj from inside the openFrameworks folder, then find the project definition, and change the SDK to MacOS X 10.6. You should do the same for the targets of those two items.

Important: Before clicking the Build and Go, or the Run button, make sure that you choose the deployExamples project in the menu on the toolbar of the project window. (Otherwise if you leave openFrameworks as selected project and push Run or Build and Run, no application will be created or run).

=====
Hopefully this helps.
Cheers,
Iannis Zannos
