That's not a familiar error to me; I don't believe this has anything
to do with Boost, but it's hard to say without a full accounting of
the error messages.  The nearest thing Google finds is

  http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&q=+%22basetsd.h%22+%22not+found%22+python+show:pBBIySn1L-8:mrsXlmm6w8U:9qf1WtTMG6k&sa=N&cd=10&ct=rc&cs_p=https://pse.cheme.cmu.edu/svn/ascend/code/trunk&cs_f=SConstruct

which definitely is *not* related to Boost, Boost.Build, or
Boost.Python.

Most definitely.

Hard to say; you haven't given very much precise information.
