OpenGL Texture Loader Help Needed

[Simo++]

Ok basically I'm making an OpenGL game and having a bit of trouble loading textures.

I have followed a few tutorials and created a game engine with a resource manager. This resource manager can simply create, buffer and draw textures by using a call like this:

[[g_ResManager getTexture:@"testImage.png"] drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(10, 10)];

My problem is that I really want to use this setup (manager) to load textures that I can bind and use in a more typical OpenGL way.

e.g.

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, cubeTexture[0]);

I have this so far:

Cube.h

GLTexture *testTexture[1];
GLuint cubeTexture[1];

Cube.m

testTexture[0] = [g_ResManager getTexture:@"testImage.png"];

//How do I get the texture from here (above) to this (below)?

glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, cubeTexture[0]);

So I would very much appreciate it if anyone could give me advice / an example of how to do this.

I have written a standard texture loader before, but would really like to use the resource manager I have.

Thanks

Have you considered using a game engine instead?

Cocos2d is extremely feature full and free.
