Soil image loader problem

[Juicej]

i'm using code blocks and for some reason the error only points to the closing parenthesis of the "SOIL_load_OGL_texture function.. i've tried a whole bunch of things.. has any body ran into this problem before. can you help me please..

int LoadImage()
{

 texture[0] = SOIL_load_OGL_texture("data/Terrain.png",
                                    SOIL_LOAD_AUTO,
                                    SOIL_CREATE_NEW_ID,
                                    SOIL_FLAG_POWER_OF_TWO | SOIL_FLAG_INVERT_Y
                                      );

     if(texture[0] == 0)
		return false;


    // Typical Texture Generation Using Data From The Bitmap
	glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[0]);
	glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
	glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);

	return true;
}

Looks ok to me, are you sure you are linking to SOIL correctly? Also paste exactly what the error message says.

i use the default settings so i only get a red lil square on the line of code that has the error no description.. can you tell me how to get it?

[Juicej]

ok i found out about the log..

You have a linking error, you haven't linked to SOIL correctly, as @James2250. In your build options for the project, go to linking, and add libSOIL.a (or SOIL.lib or whatever its called) to the list, then try again. I haven't used SOIL, so I can't particularly give fully accurate information.

thanks but i tried it and it ouputed way more errors... its libSOIL.a

[Juicej]

well i just found out that you have to add it to the link library before any other links.. ran perfectly.. thanks..
