You will need other Qt packages. It may be that those are missing. I do not know enough about Void Linux to know whether there is some easy way to install those. (Debian provides apt-get install build-deps or something.) It's possible you could find out what the dependencies are of the default package. Here on Fedora, I have: qt5-devel-5.13.2-2.fc32.noarch qt5-qtbase-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtdeclarative-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtsvg-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qttools-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtmultimedia-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtwebsockets-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtserialport-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qt3d-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtxmlpatterns-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtenginio-devel-1.6.2-33.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtconnectivity-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtcharts-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtlocation-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtwayland-devel-5.15.2-3.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtwebchannel-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtwebkit-devel-5.212.0-0.53.alpha4.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtscript-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtsensors-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 qt5-qtx11extras-devel-5.15.2-2.fc33.x86_64 Riki -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
