What to use instead of glaux
Posted: Thu May 27, 2010 5:42 pm
I'm trying to get lesson 7 on the Nehe tutorial website to work without glaux, but I can't figure out how to do it.
Specifically the code having to do with AUX_RGBImageRect objects.
I'm sure someone else has figured this out before. So how do you do it?
EDIT: I actually just figured it out.
Here is the code in case other people need it in the future:
I claim rights to none of this code.

if (File) // Does The File Exist?
{
fclose(File); // Close The Handle
return auxDIBImageLoad(Filename); // Load The Bitmap And Return A Pointer
}
return NULL; // If Load Failed Return NULL
}
Code: Select all

BMP Loader - a quick and dirty substitute for GLaux
if you only use GLaux to load BMP files will load any format of a
windows DIB BMP format graphics file Only works on a windows box
Caution! memory for the data is allocated using 'new'.
In the NeHe tutorials the memory is reclaimed using 'free'.
For the small tutorials its not a big deal but not a good practice in
larger projects (heap trashing not good). J.M. Doyle : 12 Jan 2003
