The name of the file is less important than its contents.
To be usable, the file must match the Object Module Format
of the VxWorks product that you intend to add it to. For
example, the Tornado 2.2, GNU 2.96+ object file formats are
all ELF files.

It's possible that the .lib files that you have were intended
to be used with Microsoft development systems. They will
be in the PE-COFF Object Module Format, and not usable as a
result with Tornado 2.2.

If you try to read your .lib files with the GNU objcopy
utility that came with your Wind River distribution, it
should tell you whether it understands that file format.
If it doesn't, you're probably not going to be able to use
the file.

Here's a document on the ELF format:
