Building Boost.Python can be a real adventure.  From where I'm sitting
right now, I wouldn't be able to tell you what is wrong because I'm no
expert myself.  I had recently done a debug build, and wrote down my steps,
at home.  However, I'm betting you don't really need to build.  It looks to
me like you're not as concerned with building the DLL as you with just
using them.  If that is the case, then maybe consider the pre-built
libraries you could get here:

That *should* just work, but you could smash into some odd compatibility
stuff with however Enthought built their distribution--then you'd have to
build from source.
