I have several object files (.o) ,without source code, for a vxWorks project.

How can I test if they are OS independent or not?

I try to use them for a Linux project. They should include openGL stuff.

edit:

I have a Graphic board with a S3 on it. There is a driver available for it, but just for vxWorks. I found a startup script for vxWorks. In this several Objekt files will be loaded.

e.g this 

ld 1,0,"lib/libGL.o" ld 1,0,"lib/libGLU.o"

And I think they are independent from the OS.But I'm not sure. Because I try to use this board with Linux.

Link them against a main() function. If you get no errors, then they don't use OS specific functions.

[EDIT] Object files are linked, not included. You need to write a main() function which calls code in the .o files (check the OpenGL documentation for the names).

Now you can compile this with:

 cc -c -o main.o main.c cc -o main main.o lib/libGL.o lib/libGLU.o

First thanks for the Answer. I had the same idea, but to be honest I actually don't know how to do that exactly. Can you give me a short example?
Your question is pretty vague. That makes it hard to give specific advice. Unless you can tell me more details about the object files, I can't help you. Interesting questions are: What do you really mean by "OS independent"? Where did you find these files? Why do you think you can use them? Do you have any documentation?
I edit the question. How is the mechanism to include a object file without knowing the header name?
