OK, thanks.

Regarding the original issue, I'm still largely in the dark.

I've build qt-6.2 (-debug-and-release option), installed cmake3.26 and 
I'm using macos 10.14 and xcode. lyx has been updated to a very recent 
master-version.

Building a complete (qt frameworks included) debuggable LyX2.4.app with 
cmake does not work for me; the plug-ins are not copied into the bundle 
and cmake's fixup_bundle step subsequently fails.

When I apply my patch (see first message) the plugins are copied but the 
fixup_bundle step still fails.

Only the QtCore, ... frameworks have been copied to the bundle (probably 
by the install command in my patch), but not the QtCore_debug, ... 
versions, although no error is reported by fixup_bundle at copy time.

That's because they are copied to a folder named /@rpath/ in my 
build-folder instead of into the bundle.
Apparently the @rpath used in the qt libraries is not handled properly 
by the cmake scripts.

Can anyone confirm that a stand-alone LyX2.4.app can be build with cmake 
on macos or have any other suggestion?
