It is strange that it says "Building in-source". I cannot reproduce this (I tried your same steps). Something weird is going on. For some reason CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR is the same as CMAKE_BINARY_DIR, which should not be the case. > 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. Good idea. I should do that. Scott
