you can compile on your pc for the kobo although it is a different processor architecture, it's called cross-compiling.

kobo supplies all you need on their github repository: https://github.com/kobolabs/Kobo-Reader
but afaik it's only possible to download the whole 3.5G repo, so i'll post the links here for what you need to compile for the glo:

assuming you are running 2.6+, use this toolchain:

gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.04-20130417

you can get it here: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolcha...ries/+download
linux:https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolcha..._linux.tar.bz2
win32: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolcha...0417_win32.exe
i'm a linux user, so i haven't tried the windows version, but it should work as well.

you'll probably need some linux headers, this is the kernel for the glo and most newer models:

compile with:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -I X:/path/to/linux-2.6.35.3-507/include -Wall -o programFilename code.c

happy coding
