What is missing for LyX 2.4?

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

On the Mac GraphicsMagic is not available as default, but easily
installed with Homebrew (and I am sure MacPorts and similar ilk).

I have been using that for years.

Something like

ln -fs $(brew --prefix)/opt/graphicsmagick/bin/gm /usr/local/bin/convert

results in a 'convert' which does the work (as does 'gm convert'), is
version independent and work on both Intel and Silicon.
