I don't know whether he got them from you or directly from the original
download pages, but this does not matter. What matters is that you get a
consistent build and eliminate possible errors if you use these sources (by
enabling the 3RDPARTY_BUILD swithc as I wrote in the other message).

I need a pointer here. There are too many posts I cannot read them all.
What do I have to do? Adding
-LYX_3RDPARTY_BUILD=ON
to my build script does not work:

CMake Error: The source directory "D:/LyXGit/Master/compile-2010/-LYX_3RDPARTY_BUILD=ON" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Maybe I will have to delete the CMake cache before and then re-run Cmake. I'll check this now.

For now I also need the info about Qt 5. What is the expected build target for beta1? My time is limited and I have to focus on one Qt version. I installed Qt 5.6 beta for mingw and mingw itself. Is this the way I should go?

Sure. I try to do this but I am a human making mistakes. And the path
handling stuff for the compiler is error-prone as hell. Thus I simply
create a new branch in my git putting there the files from the tar. This
assures that the compilation paths are correct.

Can you please explain which errors you see (or fear to see) if not building
from the tar ball only?

I need to run CMake again spending half an hour to setup all the many paths there. This sucks. With a new branch I work in the same directory as always.

This is very important, because building from the
unpacked tar ball is the only way to ensure that the built executable is
built from the correct sources and without any possible local change. Do you
remember the problem with one of the alphas where much time was wasted
because the installer was not built from unmodified alpha sources?

As I wrote, I make mistakes. I did not had much time to test the alpha installer. Normally I have at least a day and can check on 4 different PCs and the buggy installer would have been uncovered.
