libxkbfile-dev (not installed by default on my Jammy virtual machine)

Neither of those two files were in my distro and so I've installed them and we'll see next time I rebuild whether the error messages are still there.

Sadly, I already rebuilt for the 2.2.1 update and didn't pay attention since the 'errors' hadn't appeared to have any adverse impact on performance.

You're probably going to run into trouble installing future versions with the repo supplied Qt on Jammy. I tried hard to support 6.2, when moving to a Qt6-only Sigil codebase that has ditched all of the transitional training wheels (including QTextCodec). But it proved to difficult/complicated. Moving forward from Sigil 2.2.1, the minimum Qt for building Sigil from the master branch will be Qt6.4 built with icu support for QStringDecoder/QStringEncoder.
