LyX can no longer be compiled under macOS Sonoma 14.0 and Qt 6.5

[Christoph Schmitz]

Enrico, got it! Many thanks!

I have downloaded the updated toolchain.prf file from the link you provided and I replaced the corresponding file in the following folder:

/usr/local/Cellar/qt/6.5.1_3/share/qt/mkspecs/features

After this change, the configure script ran without errors and I could compile LyX. However, make now gives the following error message:

I have already deleted the local LyX repository and started again from scratch. The same problem.
