1.) The "qt" Tool from the SCons core is developed for and intended to 
be used with Qt3 versions only. Please don't try to run it on Qt4 or Qt5 
projects.

2.) In the ToolsIndex of the SCons Wiki you can find links to the 
specialized builders for Qt4 and Qt5 projects. Please select the 
appropriate Tool for your case, try to run it and report back whether it 
works or not.
By the way, the Qt4 Tool is the second hit of a Google search for "scons 
qt" on my side...

3.) The next time you think that SCons shows a bug, for example if you 
still experience problems while using the Qt4/Qt5 builder, please ask on 
the User mailing list first. Report what you did and what you would 
expect, and then wait for an answer. One of the developers will come 
back to you and, after confirming that it's really a bug, ask you to 
submit an issue report.

4.) While waiting for an answer, allow the other readers some time for 
digesting and investigating what you wrote. Keep in mind that the 
majority of the core developers live in another time zone...far, far 
away. The time span of approximately two hours, between your posts for 
this thread so far, is not enough. My personal experience is that 
usually a working day or two pass, before people actively chime in. For 
several more helpful guidelines like this one, you might want to have a 
short look at "How to ask questions the smart way" ( 
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html )...

Thanks a lot in advance for taking the above points into consideration 
and best regards,

Dirk
