My way to have a first sample program running with "Texus' Graphical User Interface" (TGUI) - a cross-platform modern C++ immediate GUI, on which I use "Simple and Fast Multimedia Library" (SFML) as backend.

This tip provides instructions for successfully installing "Code::Blocks", "Simple and Fast Multimedia Library" (SFML) and "Texus' Graphical User Interface" (TGUI) on Linux to create and run a first little TGUI sample program in C++. The sample program shows some things that are not currently covered by example in the TGUI tutorial: [a] Creating a ribbon-like UI. [b] Working with the internal file dialog. [c] Setting the widget font.
