May I propose a small patch for improved clarity?

configures LyX according to your system.
When compiling for Qt, you may have to set
--with-qt4-dir=<path-to-your-qt4-installation>
- or the environment variable QTDIR.
+ if the environment variable QTDIR is not set.
2) make
compiles the program.
3) src/lyx
- runs the program so you can test it before installing.
+ runs the program so you can check it out.
4) make install
will install it. You can use "make install-strip" instead
Rationale:
1. A Linux distribution might provide alternative means to QTDIR for
specifying the qt4 dir.
2. "check out" might be confusing (regarding the next section about SVN).
"test" is IMO less ambiguous.
