I deleted my local LyX repository and cloned it again from Git. Now LyX works 
again. I should have tried that before.

Stephan, I have seen that you are one of the co-authors of the INSTALL.MacOSX 
file. This file contains a lot of information for older systems. Have you ever 
considered to update the document to cover current machines and newer Qt and 
macOS versions?

That's the way it currently works for me (on macOS 13.0 Beta 5 Ventura on both 
platforms, AMD64 and ARM64):

- Qt6, automake, gettext, and pkgconfig are installed with Homebrew.
- LyX is cloned from Git.
- Cd into LyX folder.

./autogen.sh

./configure \
--with-version-suffix=-2.4 \
--prefix=/Users/chris/Desktop/LyX.app \
--with-x=no \
--disable-stdlib-debug \
--with-included-hunspell \
--with-libiconv-prefix=/usr \
--enable-qt6 \
--with-macos-deployment-target=12.0

make -j8 && make install-strip

Chris
