We construct black hole attractor solutions for a wide class of N=2compactifications. The analysis is carried out in ten dimensions and makescrucial use of pure spinor techniques. This formalism can accommodatenon-Kaehler manifolds as well as compactifications with flux, in addition tothe usual Calabi-Yau case. At the attractor point, the charges fix the moduliaccording to sum_k f_k = Im(C Phi), where Phi is a pure spinor of odd (even)chirality in IIB (A). For IIB on a Calabi-Yau, Phi=Omega and the equationreduces to the usual one. Methods in generalized complex geometry can be usedto study solutions to the attractor equation.Comment: 26 page
