But, thanks to the nice INSTALL file, I did it (Qt 5.9.3 64bits) for
2.3.x+properpaint branch (I will switch to master soon).
Cool. So I am not alone anymore on Windows.
LyX is not yet ready for 64bit. This is something we should do for LyX
2.4. Therefore I am sure that you get troubles.
Also note that I use MSVC 2015 because there are still issues with Qt
and MSVC 2017.
Second (bad) news: the performance is terrible, much worse that 2.2.3 as
packaged by Uwe. Uwe, what is your secret? Do I have to set some
optimization level?
- use the 32bit Qt
- write a batch script that does nothing more than to load this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat
(change it to the path of your 32bit MSVC)
- double-click on this batch file. A console pops up where the MSVC
environment is loaded
- in the command line switch to LyX's Git folder /development/CMake and
execute there the command
build5-2015 install
(before please check that the paths in the file build5-2015.bat are
correct for your system)
That's it.
- optional: in 32bit MSVC set "Release" as build option. If you select
"Debug" you get a dog slow build but one you can debug. (Despite I was
never able to get the debugger running)
I see that point 6 of
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyxgit/INSTALL.Win32
is not correct.
- At first just start the CMake Gui
- set there the GNUWIN32 directory and the CMAKE_PATH_PREFIX directory
- press generate in CMake and fix the missing paths it might complain about
- press generate again then build
- from now on use the build5-2015.bat file to build
In the CMake GUI you might set how LyX is built. When I am back home in
January, I will send you my settings.

Btw. I cannot send at the moment mails to lyx-devel directly. It only
works by writing to the Gmane newsgroup. I get:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es)
failed:

Reason:
