Thread: Loading an image into memory using OpenGL

Hi there,

I am having some difficulty with loading an image into memory (for texture mapping) with OpenGL.

I've tried

Code:

value = auxDIBImageLoad(Filename);

But I'm not sure - it seems as though this function has become deprecated or something? As far as I know, it used to be a valid way of loading a texture.

Has anybody else encountered this problem? Is there a simple substitution I can make?

Thanks for any help!

-Edit-
The error I'm getting is a linker error. "Unresolved external...."

I always use the glTexImage2D() or gluBuild2DMipmaps() functions to generate textures. You just have to handle loading the image and converting it into a format these functions can use is all. This is really the only way I know of doing it, so it's the only way I can recommend.

Great, I'll give that a shot

Thanks!

Hmm, after going through my code (I'm very new to OpenGL) it looks like those functions are not where my problem is - I'm using them as well. It's the

Code:

auxDIBImageLoad(Filename);

function that actually grabs the file from the disk that I am having my dilemma with.

I've searched everywhere and can't find ANYTHING. Apparently learning OpenGL is something best done in a school environment
