For Mac there is no 32-bit Qt5 available. Therefore LyX 2.2 is primarily as a 64-bit version on Mac provided. For very old systems it is possible to build it with 4.8.6 on one of my old systems. The more modern systems aren't able to build the Qt4 frameworks because of compiler errors nobody has the intention to fix. That's why I'm keeping my old system and can build a 32-bit LyX with 4.8.6 on it if there is someone asking for it. Stephan
