Hi, Thanks for your report.

Needed to build image files (modules/highgui/src/files_Qt/Milky/*) has been removed in the latest, because these files are non-free. If you know that the file to be these alternative is in the Qt library, could you tell me. I'll fix it so that it can be build by using them.
