images loading with pure C

[momotaro]

I don't even know where to start in order to load an image into my program using c
plz help

[newb16]

libpng, for example.

[momotaro]

does it support all image files??

[newb16]

If you don''t even know where to start, start with _some_ image format (like I suggested or some other) and once you know, explore other possibilities. Maybe it will be better to start with .bmp

[momotaro]

can't get it to be installed

[newb16]

It's because either you are doing something wrong or your system is not supported.

ok lets start ffrom skratch
I wanna for the moment just learn how to read the header of an image file!
with only built-in functions!!!!!!
is it possible and where to start

[newb16]

yes, it's possible - fopen(), read() into byte array. Start with reading documentation on particular format.
