These four steps will compile, test and install LyX:
- 0) Linux users beware: You need qt4 and qt4-devel packages
+ 0) Linux users beware: You need qt4/5 and qt4/5-devel packages
of the same version to compile LyX.
In general, it is also recommended to have pkg-config
(for example, "--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt4/") if the
environment variable QTDIR is not set and pkg-config is not
available.
+ You will need --enable-qt5 switch for choosing qt5 over qt4.
See Note below if ./configure script is not present.

+* automake (supported versions are 1.14--1.16)
* autoconf (supported versions are 2.65--2.69)
Then type "./autogen.sh" to build the needed configuration
files and proceed as stated above/below.
