A bitmap into memory?

glTexImage2D( GLenum target,
GLint level,
GLint internalFormat,
GLsizei width,
GLsizei height,
GLint border,
GLenum format,
GLenum type,
const GLvoid *texels )

As you can see by the last parameter you need a pointer to a spot in memory.

GLint border,
GLenum format,
GLenum type,
const GLvoid *texels )

Thank you in Advance.

Let me see if I get this right:

target = filename
level = 3 (for R, G, and B)
internalFormat = ???
width = width
height = height
border = 0 (no border)
format = ??
type = ??
texels = pointer


Just the three up there with the question marks are the ones I dont get. Thanks.

You should look up the OpenGL Red Book or the OpenGL Super Bible to get a better idea of what you need to do. OpenGL doesn''t provide loaders. You, or someone else, needs to do all the work of getting your bitmap data into a format that can be fed into OpenGL. Take a look at nehe.gamedev.net. Lesson 5 or 6 has texture loading in it. It should be a start.
