I came across this issue when using tex2lyx directly (in one of my
workflows) on MacOs 10.13.6

I can look on my laptop with Mojave tonight :-)-O, where LyX runs
otherwise without issues, I haven't finished testing all of my
workflows, but assume I'll upgrade the iMacs in the practice to Mojave
this weekend.

I have done

sudo mkdir -p /Users/Shared/LyX/utilities/lib
sudo chown -Rv $(whoami):admin /Users/Shared/
pushd /Users/Shared/LyX/utilities/lib
ln -s
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Frameworks/Hunspell.framework/libhunspell-1.3.0.dylib
$(pwd)
ls -las
popd

which (the symlink part) achieves the same :-)-O

With regards to how to do this in FInder, one could look at making an
alias and moving that into the Shared directory.

I have, however hunspell 1.6 installed with homebrew which is not seen
after a Reconfigure.

I wonder while you are fixing the build procedure (I assume the library
could be accessed withing the application but don't undertstand those
things) if you could make it look for a system wide hunspell
installation and use that?

And, while I have your attention,would it be possible to give tex2lyx
(and lyx itself) a -q (--quiet) option?
