The best I can tell from your 20-some posts is this:

* You are building Blender from source

* You are using your own home-made Visual Studio project and not one of the supported build systems.

* After you are done, it does not work because Blender cannot find it's Python files.

Is that a good summary? (apologies if this is not correct. you have so many threads going, it is hard to keep track)

For your first time around the track, I would recommend using one of the supported build systems - either cmake or SCons. Both of these produce an install directory that contains the files you need to run Blender.

I personally recommend scons, because it tends to run right out of the box. But you will need to install Python 2.6 or similar (you have already done this, if I recall correctly)

Here is a link to building Blender:

If you are using cmake, do not forget the 'make install' step that copies the necessary python files to the install dir.

I forgot to mention that if you have access to IRC, you can get real-time help on the #blendercoders channel on freenode.net . Depending on the time of day, you might also find people who know about OSX and cmake.
