I don't use Boost.Python myself so I can't give you more specific 
instructions, but unresolved externals of __imp_* symbols mean that you 
need to add an import library (the .lib) for a DLL, either by adding a 
reference to it or by adding it to the linker project settings.

Given the names of the symbols, it's most likely one of the Python 
runtime DLLs.
