Loading an image with Dev C++

Question

My goal is relatively simple which is loading an image with the usage of C++. I compile and run these codes using Dev C++. I already linked these respective headers in the compiler options and in the parameter.

#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>
#include <cstdint>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <cstring>


typedef union PixelInfo
{
    std::uint32_t Colour;
    struct
    {
        std::uint8_t R, G, B, A;
    };
} *PPixelInfo;

class Tga
{
private:
    std::vector<std::uint8_t> Pixels;
    bool ImageCompressed;
    std::uint32_t width, height, size, BitsPerPixel;

public:
    Tga(const char* FilePath);
    std::vector<std::uint8_t> GetPixels() {return this->Pixels;}
    std::uint32_t GetWidth() const {return this->width;}
    std::uint32_t GetHeight() const {return this->height;}
    bool HasAlphaChannel() {return BitsPerPixel == 32;}
};

Tga::Tga(const char* FilePath)
{
    std::fstream hFile(FilePath, std::ios::in | std::ios::binary);
    if (!hFile.is_open()){throw std::invalid_argument("File Not Found.");}

    std::uint8_t Header[18] = {0};
    std::vector<std::uint8_t> ImageData;
    static std::uint8_t DeCompressed[12] = {0x0, 0x0, 0x2, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0};
    static std::uint8_t IsCompressed[12] = {0x0, 0x0, 0xA, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0};

    hFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&Header), sizeof(Header));

    if (!std::memcmp(DeCompressed, &Header, sizeof(DeCompressed)))
    {
        BitsPerPixel = Header[16];
        width  = Header[13] * 256 + Header[12];

        if ((BitsPerPixel != 24) && (BitsPerPixel != 32))
        {
            hFile.close();
            throw std::invalid_argument("Invalid File Format. Required: 24 or 32 Bit Image.");
        }

        ImageData.resize(size);
        ImageCompressed = false;
        hFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(ImageData.data()), size);
    }
    else if (!std::memcmp(IsCompressed, &Header, sizeof(IsCompressed)))
    {
        BitsPerPixel = Header[16];
        width  = Header[13] * 256 + Header[12];
        height = Header[15] * 256 + Header[14];
        size  = ((width * BitsPerPixel + 31) / 32) * 4 * height;

        PixelInfo Pixel = {0};
        int CurrentByte = 0;
        std::size_t CurrentPixel = 0;
        ImageCompressed = true;
        std::uint8_t ChunkHeader = {0};
        int BytesPerPixel = (BitsPerPixel / 8);
        ImageData.resize(width * height * sizeof(PixelInfo));

        do
        {
            hFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&ChunkHeader), sizeof(ChunkHeader));

            if(ChunkHeader < 128)
            {
                ++ChunkHeader;
                for(int I = 0; I < ChunkHeader; ++I, ++CurrentPixel)
                {
                    hFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&Pixel), BytesPerPixel);

                }
            }
            else
            {
                ChunkHeader -= 127;
                hFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&Pixel), BytesPerPixel);

                for(int I = 0; I < ChunkHeader; ++I, ++CurrentPixel)
                {
                    ImageData[CurrentByte++] = Pixel.B;
                    ImageData[CurrentByte++] = Pixel.G;
                    ImageData[CurrentByte++] = Pixel.R;
                    if (BitsPerPixel > 24) ImageData[CurrentByte++] = Pixel.A;
                }
            }
        } while(CurrentPixel < (width * height));
    }
    else
    {
        hFile.close();
        throw std::invalid_argument("Invalid File Format. Required: 24 or 32 Bit TGA File.");

int main()
{
    Tga info = Tga("C:/Users/Lenovo/Desktop/OpenGL/sabahpride.tga");

    GLuint texture = 0;
    glGenTextures(1, &texture);
    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
    glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, info.HasAlphaChannel() ? GL_RGBA : GL_RGB, info.GetWidth(), info.GetWidth(), 0, info.HasAlphaChannel() ? GL_RGBA : GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, info.GetPixels().data());

}

The code is successfully compiled but when I run the .exe file, it does not show anything; seems like does not process anything at all. I've been working on loading this image for a few days already but to no avail. I would really appreciate it if there are other solutions. When I ran the debugger it shows an error which says [Error] can't create precompiled header Flag of Sabah.exe: Permission denied

I also tried using openCV to load the image and it can compile but would not run at all and does not create any .exe file

#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
 // Read the image file
 Mat image = imread("C:/Users/Lenovo/Desktop/New folder/sabahpride.jpg");

 // Check for failure
 if (image.empty()) 
 {
  cout << "Could not open or find the image" << endl;
  cin.get(); //wait for any key press
  return -1;
 }

 String windowName = "The Flag"; //Name of the window

 namedWindow(windowName); // Create a window

 imshow(windowName, image); // Show our image inside the created window.

 waitKey(0); // Wait for any keystroke in the window

 destroyWindow(windowName); //destroy the created window

 return 0;
}

The task is due tomorrow so I really need the help that I can. Thank you.
