I am not sure exactly what is wrong per se, but I spot a few things that look a bit "suspicious".

I think this is not a good move I think it is better to have perr
directories for destination and source rather than try to have the
destination part of the source. Perhaps put all the source in a
directory src and have:

    VariantDir('build', 'src')

I would replace this with:

    SConscript('src/SConscript')

given the above change

Using '.' and '..' probably don't do what you think they do ;-)  Perhaps
try:

    env = Environment()
    env.Append(CPPPATH='#')

/usr/include and . should always be on the CPPPATH I believe and '#' is
the way of specifying the project level. But of course this will likely
need to be different given tha above proposals.

If you try any of this it would be good to hear what the outcomes were.

I hope this helps.
