How do one precompiled objects ?

You mean, display lists ?
Here's how :

//first, get an id for our display list
unsigned int list_id;
glGenLists (1, &list_id);

//begin compiling
glNewList (list_id, GL_COMPILE);

//all what you draw here will be compiled, and will have no immediate effect on the screen

DrawMyObject ();

//stop compiling
glEndList

Later in your code, if you want to draw your object, instead of calling

DrawMyObject ();

just call

glCallList (list_id);
