Thank you for your effort. As you saw, I solved the compile problems with a modified configure command line. I couldn't believe it doesn't compile out of the box with Qt5. Most of the time I want to understand the steps I'm doing. That's why I didn't start over with a fresh install. You may ask, why I didn't use cmake. First it was not installed and I had to learn how package management on Ubuntu works. Later I couldn't git it to compile LyX out-of-source. I don't understand it. I'm doing that: $ mkdir lyx-2.2-cmake $ cd lyx-2.2-cmake $ cmake ../LyX-2.2-2.2.0dev -- -- Building in-source -- -- Using GCC version 4.8 fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git -- Found Qt-Version 4.8.6 ... Why this? Stephan BTW, perhaps you may add an option to choose QT4/QT5 to your lyx-build script. ATM automake builds it with Qt4 and cmake uses Qt5.
