What happens is that in this code
wmask_type M_convert_to_wmask(const mask m) const
{
wmask_type ret;
switch (m) {
case print: ret = wctype("print"); break;
}
return ret;
}
the constant 'print' does not fit into the type of 'm' (which is 'mask').

I am pretty sure that qt is to blame here and that it defines a global type
'mask', because including qt headers was the only change that happened
recently. If that is the case you can easily fix the problem by full
qualification of 'mask':
std::ctype<lyx::char_type>::mask
