Sorry, I omitted the cmake step. Here's what I did this time:

mkdir build/ # from the LyX directory
cd build/
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

This used to work just fine but now doesn't. If instead I do:

cmake -DLYX_NLS=ON ..

then the gmo files are created, as you said. But, as I said, I did not
need to do that previously, I don't think.
