c++ - how open images?

what anyone can advice me for read some images?
(GIF,JPEG,PNG and others)
i never used C++ libraries... even the boost, i don't know install it :(
You are going to have to use a graphics library for that. You can just use the WinAPI, but if you want a way more simplistic, easy way to do it, then you can use SDL, SFML, Qt, GLFW... there are a lot of them. I personally recommend Qt, but it is up to you
my problem is how i can use\install them(or just join the headers files in the folder :(
Oh... yeah. That's where it gets complicated.

For Qt, you can just download Qt Creator, which comes with all of the Qt libraries and such.

For SFML, you have to build the libraries, include them in your project, link them to your project, etc.

SDL: Same as SFML.

For GLFW, there are binaries, you just include them in your project.


I am not experienced with SFML and SDL, so I may be wrong
