Loading (bmp) textures to OpenGL

ruby-talk
1

hi,

i dont want to write a reader for bmp files in ruby, so
i have googled through comp.lang.ruby and found only one thread about
"loading textures to opengl", which contains a link to the imlib2-ruby
library.

the problem is, that i have no idea how to install this lib on
windows.

does anyone have an idea how to load *.bmp s?

i think it should be possible with FX/Ruby, but again i have no clue
how to do it in an easy way.

please help, Meinrad Recheis

For my GL game I use RUDL (http://froukepc.dhs.org/rudl/), it can load
bmp, png, tga and more easily. It also has a simple Windows installer.

by the way,
does anyone know wether the glAUX library has been wrapped ???
it contains a method LoadBmp
