Hello Romain,

In our case, *.cpp file seems to be intermediate files, ensure that your
source files (template for cpp generation) do not have the *.cpp extension
and create your own builder.
Have a look to
http://www.scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#chap-builders-writing
.

Regards,
Laurent
