Thanks. Finally came around trying it on macOS. I take it one has to run 
the last command with sh, right? So, from the lyx directory (in the 
lyxgit directory) I execute

sh development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh --enable-cxx11 
--with-qt-dir=/Users/<username>/Qt/5.9.9

(where I replace <username> by my macOS user name. Unfortunately, I get 
the following:

: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 2:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 4:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 9:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 19:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 23:
: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 27:

: command not found-binary-release.sh: line 29:

unexpected tok'n `in
'evelopment/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh: line 53: `case 
"${QtVersion}:${QtAPI}" in

By the way, if finally successful, where will this put the LyX.app?
