Yoq's guide is only for firmware 2.6 and above. For previous firmware you need to use a different compiler. On Ubuntu you can install an arm compiler for older firmware with 'sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi'.

In firmware 2.6 Kobo switched to a hard-float compiler. Before that they used a soft float compiler, so when you're compiling your own software for the Kobo you need to make sure you're using the right compiler for the right firmware version.

I've used this helloworld.cpp file on my Kobo:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
	return 0;
}
