I am tearing my hair out over something that originally appeared a simple task, displaying an image in OpenGL.
It’s not drawing the image on-screen that I find difficult, it’s loading the image in the first place.
My texture is stored in PNG format and I read it using libpng, loosely following the example here.
Before I post my code, I would greatly appreciate it if somebody could send me a working example of displaying a PNG image (cross platform too, please :D).
Segmentation error occurs near the bottom where the comment is:
