I tried that, but it installed Qt4-libraries. Perhaps it's assuming
dependencies as per LyX using Qt4.
In case it helps someone else, using cmake I could get LyX to build on a
clean Ubuntu 16.04 using:
apt-get update \
&& DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \
build-essential \
qt5-default \
qtbase5-dev \
libqt5svg5-dev \
python \
cmake
followed by these commands from within in a cloned LyX repository:
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake -DLYX_USE_QT=QT5
make
However, I still want to make it work using autotools, so I'm going to give
that another go.
I'll write again in this thread, either if I can't make work or with the
commands that makes it work.
