What kind of difficulties? lablgl or camlimages related? In any case here
goes very simple template to output picture to TGA, you can work from
there.

method screenshot =
  let w = Togl.width togl
  and h = Togl.height togl in
  let pixels = GlPix.read
      ~x:0 ~y:0
      ~width:w ~height:h
      ~format:`rgb ~kind:`ubyte
  in
  let praw = GlPix.to_raw pixels in
  let raw = Raw.gets ~pos:0 ~len:(Raw.byte_size praw) praw in
  let w = GlPix.width pixels in
  let h = GlPix.height pixels in
  let f = open_out_bin "shot.tga" in
  let outb = output_byte f in
  let outw w = output_byte f (w land 0xff); output_byte f (w lsr 8) in
  outw 0;
  outb 2;
  for i = 0 to 8 do outb 0 done;
  outw w; outw h;
  outb 24;
  outb 0;
  for i = 0 to pred (w * h) do
    outb raw.(i * 3 + 2);
    outb raw.(i * 3 + 1);
    outb raw.(i * 3 + 0);
  done;
  close_out f
