Texture Problem "rock.tga"

[starcreek]

i was successful on the magnification and minification for the 1D square movements.

although the "rock.tga" texture does not show; the code still works. So i thougth the problem might be in the loading of the rock.tga

at first my code was:

if (!m_textureOne->Load("rock.tga"))
return false;

it produces no error, but i am puzzled as to why my 2 squares are without texture

i thought changing the code to

image.Load("rock.tga");
glGenTextures(1, &m_rockTexture);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_rockTexture);
gluBuild2DMipmaps(GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_RGB, image.GetWidth(), image.GetHeight(), GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, image.GetImage());
image.Release();

would work, but i still see no texture!

im not having any errors, but i would like to achieve the point to my current chapter before i move on.

I would take a look at the NEHE tutorial.

i tried placing the file rock.tga in C:\myprojectfiles but it still doesnt work

i guess that im not telling c++ how to properly load and find the file if i could get some help with that it would be greatly appreciated.

i've tried debugging it, and the blue line tells me that the code steps into the if (!pFile) statement, now i have no clue on how to change that so that it can load rock.tga
