Device: kobo glo touch & mini
Compiling C++ on the Kobo Glo

Hello

I have a problem and have searched for days for a solution
how do I compile a .CPP file on the Kobo Glo

Do I compile it on the device or using some package installed on windows like
CodeSourcery G++ or do i just enter some command like #>compile code.cpp

I have got telnet usb RNDIS python and pygame working fine
even soldered wires to the pcb to get rs232 login from /dev/ttymcx0
so I can do pretty much everything I want
the problem is the file that i found online ( here i think )
that updates the e-ink ( full_updatescreen ) only works correctly on the touch and possibly mini.

The fullupdatre works but it only updates 800x600 not the 1024x758 of the glo

I have the source code .cpp and .h supplied by <PLACE NAME HERE > thanks heaps
but i am basing my app on the glo so either need to know how to compile or have a compiled file that works with the glo..

For the moment i only really want the executable ( i am guessing someone has this already )

I have tried various example of gcc make g++ etc but done seem to be installed on the kobo so i am not sure if it is possible to compile on the kobo or if it needs to be done on the pc

Help would be appreciated

P.S

This is my first post and a bit about my career is in the new user introduction section of the forum.. 25 years with playing with gadgets etc
