I would think this post is some kind of a joke if not all those videos he actually made.
To be honest, your tutorials are not actually bad, but is does seem like you are not yet experienced in SFML enough to start teaching other people. No offence, but you at least have to make one finished public project with it or at least use it for something more that educational purpose only.
While the post might be a bit on the more offensive side, there are definitely a few valid points in there (if what's written down is indeed the case; haven't had time to look). Zsbzsb's definitely not trying to troll (excessively).
Now don't get offended reading this post, but I am telling you how it is. Because unless you see that it is another bad "tutorial" series (CodingMadeEasy anybody?) and that you don't understand what you are trying to teach, you won't make it anywhere as a programmer. As I see it you have only been using SFML for ~4 months and that is not nearly enough time for you to learn something to a level that you can begin teaching it. Especially when your own C++ skills are lacking.
All I can say is this is just another bad video series that can not be recommended to anybody. Just for the heck of it I downloaded the #6 code. To start off you uploaded the code to a site riddled with ads and then inside the zip you don't provide anyway to build the code (some mac files don't count). But I still decided to look through the code....
- using namespace std;
- Use of magic constants
- No handling of delta time whatsoever
- Massive unused #includes
- Enity class doesn't encapsulate anything, might as well typdef struct
- Empty enity.cpp file... for what purpose?
- Mix of *.hpp and *.h extensions
What is even the purpose of ResourcePath.hpp- No wait, I know now, its part of SFML's OSX implementation which you copied and pasted in the download for what purpose?- Storing textures within entities
- Shamelessly stealing textures without credit
- Non standard entry point
- Probably more stuff especially if I bothered to attempt to download more "example code"
All in all, I don't know why people that don't have a good understanding of C++ and game development attempt to create so called "tutorials" to teach other people something they themselves don't understand. Also this has nothing to do with a "RPG" genre. There is absolutely 0 role playing demonstrated other than how to move a sprite around the screen.

PS: Your "banner" is terribly designed and doesn't even fit in the webpage... not mentioning the fact you didn't use an alpha channel. And WTF is "SFML 3.1"? ? ?
Guess it's missing an #include <cmath> in the OpenGL example.
You could add it yourself and try again.
Please paste which errors you get. You might also want to try out another generator besides Xcode.
Please use the edit function of the forum if you want to add something to a previous post instead of writing four posts in a row.
Also spend a bit more time on the problem before posting on the forum and be more patient with waiting for answers. There are only a small number of OS X developers here and none of them are much invested in SFGUI.
I recreated the Xcode c-make file this time without examples checked, and when I ran the resulting project code in x-code, it successfully compiled, so that is where I am right now, I still haven't used sf-gui yet or any examples.
