For my 3D Engine, I need to load TGA's as Textures. All the code I found, didn't work. If anyone has got good (ANSI-C) code to load it, please help me.

Also I was searching for a list, of all the OpenGL Texture Options with description, but I couldn't find anything good.

Check lesson 34 at NeHe. It shows how to load compressed and uncompressed TGAs.

This is Cocoa so may not be your problem but for ages I was stuck with texture loading problems, I think all textures that OpenGL uses have to be size 2^n pixels^2

so that could be:
64*64
512*512
256*256
32*32

It took a while to get that one worked out.
SpaceGoon uses texture loading so get that if you want:

Yep. I think you can also have textures that are 32*64, 128*256, etc. Some new graphics cards support textures of other sizes, but you don't want to limit your game to just computers with those cards.

Actually, EXT_texture_rectangle is supported by every card better than the Rage128. If you're doing a "standard" 3D engine, in today's terms, it's probably not an unreasonable requirement.

Rectangular textures have other disadvantages, though:

Rectangular Texture coordinates run from 0..width, 0..height instead of 0..1, 0..1 as they do for Power of Two (PoT) textures.

Rectangular textures can't be mipmapped.

Rectangular textures can't GL_REPEAT, only GL_CLAMP or GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE.

If you want to target the Mac only, just use QuickTime to load your textures. That way you won't limit yourself to TGA, and you know your image loading doesn't have bugs
