The basics are:

# In a new directory (preferably outside of the source), run this command:
cmake -DLYX_ENABLE_EXPORT_TESTS=ON /path/to/source
# then build
make
# then run tests
ctest

There are currently many tests failing, so you would need to run the
tests without the patch and with the patch, and see if there are any
differences.

The tests take a long time. You can run them in parallel but this can
mess things up. See in Development.lyx the part about "‑‑rerun-failed"
of ctests for how to get the advantages of parallel testing without the
worry.

Because the tests take so long, I would do the build with the patch in
one directory, without the patch in a separate directory, and then run
two instances of ctest and leave it overnight.

I can run the tests if the above seems like too much trouble.
