No, I never try to add ‘./A’ to CPPPATH, this is why I am concerned. I can send you this example by mail. I don’t know if I can add it to the user mailing list so I did not provided it.

The SConstruct and SConscript files provided in the mail are complete (except for the missing ‘)’ in the SConstruct). From the example you can see that adding './A’ to the CPPPATH is not necessary (no include file in this directory). So I did not do it. Scons is automatically adding ‘./A’ to the CPPPATH which I find rather strange.

Could it be due to the fact that the compilation directory and the root directory (in which scons is called) are not the same ?

Thanks for the link. I am aware of this issue and use lists instead of concatenated strings in all my scons projects.
