....etc.

I'm guessing you have an older version of Qt, and it needs some more headers #include<>d explicitly. I can fix this particular one, and wait to see what it runs into next; or you could work through the errors, adding #include<>s as needed, to come up with a patch that makes it more backward-compatible (which would be a much more efficient approach).

Again, sounds like an older Qt version. I think this can safely be ignored, however; it just means the script debugger will not be available.
