i have both files @ source directory.

without code written soil build succeeds.

with code:

/* load image file straight new opengl texture */ gluint grass_texture = soil_load_ogl_texture ( "original.bmp", soil_load_auto, soil_create_new_id, soil_flag_mipmaps | soil_flag_invert_y | soil_flag_ntsc_safe_rgb | soil_flag_compress_to_dxt ); /* check error during load process */ if( 0 == grass_texture ) { printf( "soil loading error: '%s'\n", soil_last_result() ); }

i getting error:
