1) Do not write the generated file into the source directory, that's 
asking for problems, as indicated by the fact that you needed to add the 
"excludeFiles" property.
2) If you want your generated file to be considered a C++ source file, 
you need to tell qbs that by giving it the "cpp" file tag:
     Artifact {
         fileName:"ruleslexer.cpp"
	fileTags: "cpp"
     }
