Sorry if this has come up a gazillion times but I really need some help loading images/photos in Opengl/GLUT. I can do vector graphics but loading pre taken images (bmp/png/jpeg etc.) seem a real pitfall and more complicated than I had hoped.

To show what I have tried already I found out about Devil but I downloaded it and found nothing other than an uninstall file. Also much advice I found is from quite a few years ago and is probably outdated (eg NeHe tuts using the Glaux library - now deprecated). So basically what is the current best online tutorial or books for this?

My first project I have set myself is a Pong game in Opengl (already done in XNA), then onto shooter type games.

Also I use MSVC++ Express 2010 if that helps.
