cannot find -lpython27

python27.lib is not on your LIBRARY_PATH. It's hard to say why or provide more info because you didn't explain how you got to this point - commands run, Python version installed, etc.

In any case, I strongly recommend that you just use the binary installers. See these existing answers:
