Some dependencies of Typhoontest are maintained by third-party developers and some problems with compatibility in the different Python versions supported can happen. The most common error to appear is the one shown in the image below:
This error is caused by some missing packages, including Microsoft Build Tools 14.0 or greater, and other ones available with Visual Studio Installer.
In order to solve this issue is necessary to install Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 or greater with the 1) Desktop development with C++ and the 2) Universal Windows Platform build tools. And, after that, is necessary to fix some files in a specific path of VS folder, this was a bug reported by some developers and unfortunately happens in Windows.

I would assume that in your case you would copy rc.exe
and rcdll.dll to visual studio 2012\vc\bin or wherever you have it installed:
Part 2: FIX LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run ‘rc.exe’
Add this to your PATH environment variables:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86
Copy these files:
rc.exe
rcdll.dll
From
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86
To
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\bin

solved this problem and many more.

I had the same problem which I solved by doing this:
Installing the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0
Adding the path of the .NET Framework files (for me
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727") to
Global compiler settings > Programs > Additional Paths within Code::Blocks.
Now I can build and link resource files without errors.
