The most demanding part, in Fedora's case, was that the development dependencies were more refined in qt5 packages than with qt4. What I mean is that with qt4 it was enough to require qt4-devel for building while in qt5 it does not exists this umbrella package and instead we have to require finer development packages. BuildRequires: pkgconfig(Qt5Core) BuildRequires: pkgconfig(Qt5Widgets) BuildRequires: pkgconfig(Qt5Gui) BuildRequires: pkgconfig(Qt5Svg) BuildRequires: pkgconfig(Qt5X11Extras) Regards, -- José Abílio-- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

The default version in the repository (2.3.4.2) is already based on Qt5. Best, Kees -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

It's not exactly clear to me why Ubuntu Focal would have difficulties installing 'libboost-signals1.67-dev' on a fresh image.

It's not exactly clear to me why Ubuntu Focal would have difficulties installing 'libboost-signals1.67-dev' on a fresh image. I would need to test a few things just to understand why this is happening. Unfortunately these days available time is very limited, and I don't have handy access to a Focal system either, so debugging this will likely take a few weeks. If someone has an idea why this issue is occurring on Focal (and how to fix it), please contact me off-list.

I initially thought that message was out of date, since I knew it had built for bionic (based on having installed it on Mint 19). After seeing your message, I clicked the information button in the upper right (I guess there really is a first time for everything) and got the expanded grid, which shows that it failed for Focal (only).
