We study massless deformations of generalized calibrated cycles, whichdescribe, in the language of generalized complex geometry, supersymmetricD-branes in N=1 supersymmetric compactifications with fluxes. We find that thedeformations are classified by the first cohomology group of a Lie algebroidcanonically associated to the generalized calibrated cycle, seen as ageneralized complex submanifold with respect to the integrable generalizedcomplex structure of the bulk. We provide examples in the SU(3) structure caseand in a `genuine' generalized complex structure case. We discuss cases oflifting of massless modes due to world-volume fluxes, background fluxes and ageneralized complex structure that changes type.
