The first of the paths you had to add will be a result of you not
including the --sources argument to the prepare-environment.py script.
Providing that argument as well would have resulted in the staging
install directory being used rather than the final one though
(intended to allow for tests to be executed even if we aren't
deploying this install, as you would want to do when you are building
a revision pulled from Reviewboard/Gerrit for instance - part of my
future proofing).

It is fairly harmless though that you had to add it by hand.

As for the second one, that looks like a Qt / Frameworks bug to me -
they should be searching within the application bundle on OSX.
You will need to ask about that one on k-f-d.
