GLAUX.DLL >:-(

glaux is obsolete and unsupported. Don''t use it.

You might still be able to get it as part of ''OpenGL for Windows 95''.

The only bitmap loading tutorials out there (NeHe and GameTutorials) use GLUAX. ... =/ One tutorial on GT. Except I can't get it to compile in Dev-C++.

look, ap... you have no clue what you are talking about.

(i mean ap1)

glaux.dll IS hard to find, indeed. after extenbsive google-bashing, however, if ound it, glaux.h, glaux.lib, glaux.a(youll use the .a instead of the .lib since you use dc++), glaux.def, and some other stuff in a neat zipped archive. i've forgotten the url, so email me at charsofthelp@netscape.net and ill email 'em back to you.

you may not need the .dll to compile it, but if you dont have it in your exe's directory or in a system variable directory (such as c:\windows\system), your program will not run. it will present an error message that says "GLAUX.DLL not found." and exit. so in a way, you are right, but your gonna need it anyway.

BTW, you dont JUST need the .lib, youd also need the .h and probably the .def aswell.

I would like to write my own that''ll be simple like..
" LoadTexture(GLuint *array, filename); "

And then do what I want with it... but I have no idea of how i''d load a bitmap myself. (still a C++/OpenGL newbie)

There are loading functions for TGA and BMP files available within my project template. You could also look into using a library such as DevIL.

AP, you DO need the .DLL. The lib is just there to make coding easy so you don''t have to get the functions from the DLL itself.

Here is an article on how to load a bitmap.
