It is good idea to run
apt-get build-dep lyx
to get all needed dependencies when compiling in debian.

1.) you need the package libqt5x11extras5-dev
2.) also the package libqt5svg5-dev
3.) libice-dev # probably you need only libice6 here
4.) qtbase5-dev

I join config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by LyX configure 2.3.0, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --enable-qt5 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt5/

Lyx3.2 and QT5 configure error

[Gilles Mioni]

I tried to compile lyx 2.3 on linux Debian buster amd64
I launched : ./configure --enable-qt5 --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib/qt5/
I obtained the message :
checking for Qt library name... failed
configure: error: cannot compile a simple Qt executable. Check you have 
the right $QTDIR.


Any idea ?
Thanks for help
