By the way, it might be that I don't really understand how and where 
these commands are supposed to be called. But if I call


cat mklyx-2.3.4.3.sh
#!/bin/sh
ARCH=x86_64
SDK=10.14
MacOsXTarget=10.12
QtVersion=5.9.9
QtAPI=-cocoa
LyXVersion=lyx-2.3.4.3
EnableCXX11="--enable-cxx11"

QtConfigureOptions="-debug-and-release" QtAPI=${QtAPI} 
QtVersion=${QtVersion} \
QtSourceVersion="qt-everywhere-src-${QtVersion}" \
PKG_CONFIG= \
sh ${MKFLAGS} ${LyXVersion}/development/LyX-Mac-binary-release.sh \
	--with-sdkroot=${SDK} --with-macosx-target=${MacOsXTarget} 
--with-arch=${ARCH} \
	--with-qt-dir=/Users/Shared/LyX/qt-${QtVersion}-frameworks${QtAPI}-${ARCH} \
	--with-util-dir=/Users/Shared/LyX/utilities \
	${EnableCXX11} \
	"$@"


I get


zsh: event not found: /bin/sh
