Loadning bitmap as texture in openGL

Loadning bitmap as texture in openGL

[Frank]

Hi!
Regarding GNAT 3-13p-7, RedHat Linux 6.2

Does anyone have a good suggestion how to load a bitmap(possibly xbm format)
from a file and add is as a texture in openGL?
I have tried to use a pixmap as texture parameter, but haven't succeded
(yet).

Look at the OpenGL framework in http://www.adapower.com/schroer/
To download the first zip give: 
http://www.adapower.com/schroer/lib-src.zip (the current url is false).
Look into http://www.adapower.com/schroer/ogl-src.zip.
The package Opengl.Bitmaps is Win32 specific but may be ported to Linux.
The package Opengl.Earth uses a bitmap of the earth to generate a
rotating globe using 2D-textures.

You may want to adapt methods from the source there
  http://romka.demonews.com/opengl/demos/glut_eng.htm
(and around). It seems portable...
