I and others have failed to compile lyx in several debian

QT.

At the moment I am trying to compile in buster
unsuccessfully. Does any one know what needs to be set in the
configuration.

Can you tell us what you do to compile and what error you get ?

Unfortunately it is very difficult to imagine what is intended with all the selections allowed by the configuration file.
From my checking of the archive, this has been true for everyone else using debian.
The directories called "qt5" appear in many strange locations.
If you can explain what $QTDIR should refer to, would setting this environmental variable be sufficient to allow configuration
