openGL texturing

Ok, I don’t know if I’m doing things right… But I’m trying to put some textures in my project. I made it with some GLubyte bitmap:

GLubyte bitmap[32] = {
// Hexadecimals here
};

And then putted with glBitmap();

Ok. But now I’m trying to get from a BMP file ( test.bmp ) ( after that I’ll try with JPG and PNG. ).

But I’m gettin some trouble, and I don’t know if its really supouse to be this hard: I’m writing a program that opens the BMP image, make sure its BMP ( with the “Magic Words” BM ), get the sizes of it and get the Image-Array.
I’ve done that ! Here’s the code ( kinda lame, but whatever ):

DEV-C++ 4.9.9.2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(){
    FILE *fp;
    int i, j;
    
    char* arquivo;
    int MAGIC_NUMBER[2];
    int tmp[4];
    int H;
    int W;
    
    arquivo = "teset.bmp";
    
    fp = fopen(arquivo, "r");
    
    fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_SET);
    for(i=0; i<2; i++)
      MAGIC_NUMBER[i] = getc(fp);
    
    fseek(fp, 18, SEEK_SET);
    for(i=0; i<4; i++)
      tmp[i] = getc(fp);
    W = tmp[0] | (tmp[1] << 8) | (tmp[2] << 16) | (tmp[3] << 24);

    fseek(fp, 22, SEEK_SET);
    for(i=0; i<4; i++)
      tmp[i] = getc(fp);
    H = tmp[0] | (tmp[1] << 8) | (tmp[2] << 16) | (tmp[3] << 24);
    
    printf("MAGIC_WORD: %c%c
", MAGIC_NUMBER[0], MAGIC_NUMBER[1]);
    printf("WIDTH     : %d
", W);
    printf("HEIGHT    : %d
", H);

    fseek(fp, 54, SEEK_SET);
    for(i=0; i<H; i++){
       for(j=0; j<W; j++){
          printf("%2X . ", getc(fp));
       }
       printf("
");
       getc(fp);getc(fp);
    }
    
    fclose(fp);
    
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

I’ve learned BMP stuff from wikipedia, then I made that by myself.

Ok, but now what ? What do I do with these information? I mean, how do I put the Array that I get with this code ( actually in here I’m printing on the screen, but you get my point ) and make openGL read it ?

I think I’m in the wrong path I’ts really necessary to do all the things I’m doing ? … openGL starts to be complicated to me here

If someone can help, I appreciate
AND NO, I DON’T WANT TO USE SDL, ALLEGRO, OR WHATEVER. Only if is libPNG, libJPG and ( I don’t know if exists ) libBMP. I don’t know how to use them, anyway

OpenGL feels complicated to you, whereas there is not a single line of GL code in your snippet above ?

You don’t want to use a GL helper library ? Whereas you need help with GL ?

… do you belong to these people like to get themselves in trouble, then complain loudly about their situation ? …

glut glfw sdl or go straight to win/X programming

(glfw even does the image file loading to GL texture for you)

Use stb_image.c for loading common image formats (tga, bmp, png, jpg). It has no dependencies on other libraries.

//---[ stuff you provide ]-----[
int TexWid = 256;
int TexHei = 256;
char* TexData = ...;
//-----------------------------/

// Stuff OpenGL gives you ---[
unsigned int TexHandle;
//---------------------------/


glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glGenTextures( 1, &TexHandle);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,TexHandle);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, GL_LINEAR); 
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER, GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT);

glTexImage2D( GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, GL_RGBA8, TexWid, TexHei, 0, GL_BGRA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,TexData);
