Linking Errors and Undefined References while Building PyNE on Windows

[ahnaf-tahmid-chowdhury]

Issue Description:

When attempting to build PyNE on Windows using both Unix Makefiles and MinGW Makefiles, the build process encounters linking errors and undefined references. The error messages suggest issues with exporting symbols and unresolved references to functions in the enrichment.cpp file. Additionally, there are warnings about a corrupt .drectve at the end of the def file.
