Hi,

I am about to try compiling and using master on macOS. I just has a look at 
INSTALL.MacOSX. It mentions Qt version 4. That seems a bit outdated. But I 
guess that I am looking at the latest guide to compile on macOS, right?

Yes, it’s outdated. It should work with Qt4 - but Qt4 cannot be used on recent 
macOS.

Basically I’m using the script LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh in development folder. 
That’s much easier than other options, IMO.

First step is to install Xcode and the automake and/or cmake utilities. This 
can be done with macports or homebrew. I’m using macports.

Second step is to get Qt5 - as source or binary distribution. I’m using the 
source tarball and build Qt5 myself.

Optional components are the spell checker and libmagic frameworks.

Finally I start development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh with
--enable-cxx11
--with-qt-dir=/path/to/qt5

Thanks. Finally came around trying it on macOS. I take it one has to run the last command with sh, right? So, from the lyx directory (in the lyxgit directory) I execute

sh development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh --enable-cxx11 --with-qt-dir=/Users/<username>/Qt/5.9.9

(where I replace <username> by my macOS user name. Unfortunately, I get the following:

: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 2:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 4:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 9:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 19:

development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh: line 53: syntax error near unexpected tok'n `in 'evelopment/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh: line 53: `case "${QtVersion}:${QtAPI}" in

By the way, if finally successful, where will this put the LyX.app?
