The locateLocal("tmp",...) call needs to be ported to use QDir::tempPath() as described at https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Porting_Notes/KStandardDirs I seem to remember there was some discussion about replacing ksnapshot with spectacle as well, though I'm not sure what happened with that.
KSnapshot has no official frameworks port. It was indeed replaced by the Spectacle application.
