The important thing I found there was directory layout.
"Icons and themes are looked for in a set of directories. By default,
apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order)."
On ubuntu the value of XDG_DATA_DIRS is:
/usr/share/gnome-classic:/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
(I have ATM gnome session)
If given env(XDG_DATA_DIRS)
We could check the lyx installation directory, and compare if it fits
into some path
from XDG_DATA_DIRS ending with /share/.
(In this case /usr/local/ or /usr/)
Use that path to form e.g.
/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/lyx2.1.svg
I try to create a cmake script for it.

I don't count on it. Especially windows platform would be hard for me.
