Hi Chris,

I’d recommend to build in a dedicated sibling directory of your LyX sources. 
But this is not your problem, IMO.

I see no obvious problem. But I may see it if you send me the configure.log (in 
PM as it may big).

Compile fail

2022-09-01 Thread Christopher Menzel
LyX folk:

I’ve successfully compiled LyX from sources under Linux but my attempts to do 
so under MacOS for my M1 Macs (since I don’t want to use Rosetta 2). I 
installed QT5 using homebrew and I’m using what seem to me to be the right 
flags for the configure script, viz.,

  % ./configure --enable-qt5 --with-version-suffix=-2.3 --with-x=no 
--with-qt-dir=/opt/homebrew/opt/qt5/

but I keep getting the following error:

> checking for Qt library name... failed

> configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have the

I’ve tried adding both “bin” and “lib” to the QT5 path but to no avail. I can’t 
afford to spend a ton of time on this but if there is something easy and 
obvious I’m missing that might solve the problem I’d appreciate hearing about 
it!
