I have problem that I can't put jpeg file as texture in my program. I download some programs that supose to help me but they are too big and complicated (and I can't even compile them). I just need the simpliest code that will put jpeg picture like texture. Can anyone help me with that, please!!!

OpenGL doesn't provide tools to convert JPEG and other image formats to a OpenGL texture (unlike the DirectX library). You need to convert JPEG yourself (very complicated) or use a third party library like DevIL.

First thanks for helping Lord_Evil,

but still with DeviL library I don't know how to put jpeg image like texture. I know that maybe I'm asking too much, but there must be someone who already done this same thing and who can give me easy code that will work. Cause I have to do it fast, I don't have so much time unfortunatly, to explore and try to do it myself.

There's another lib: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/features.html
It's also widely used.
If you have time to try both, let me know your choice.
I've had minor problems with a DevIL lib released 2 years ago.
