OpenGL fail to load raw picture - c++

Question

I am trying to execute a code that uses a raw picture as a texture. The problem is the picture wont load. Where do I need to put the picture so the program can locate it? It is currently in the project folder I am working on. I work in Codeblocks 12.11 (Win7, MinGW)
bool setup_textures()
{
RGBIMG img;
// Create The Textures' Id List
glGenTextures(TEXTURES_NUM, g_texid);
// Load The Image From A Disk File
if (!load_rgb_image("glass_128x128.raw", 128, 128, &img)) return false;
// Create Nearest Filtered Texture
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, g_texid[0]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_NEAREST);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, img.w, img.h, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img.data);
// Create Linear Filtered Texture
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, g_texid[1]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, 3, img.w, img.h, 0, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img.data);
// Create MipMapped Texture
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, g_texid[2]);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,GL_LINEAR);
glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_2D,GL_TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER,GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST);
gluBuild2DMipmaps(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 3, img.w, img.h, GL_RGB, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, img.data);
// Finished With Our Image, Free The Allocated Data
delete img.data;
return true;
}
the problem is the line with the loading of glass_128x128.raw fails and returns false;

Go to:
Project -> Properties -> Build targets -> [name of target] -> Execution working dir
and make sure that's set to the same directory as glass_128x128.raw. Chances are it's running from whatever directory your debug builds get put in, which isn't the same directory as your image is in.
