The patch32lsb program should compile on the Mac if you have the gcc toolchain installed, but I don't have any way to test it. If anyone tries compiling it and gets a compiler error message, let me know and I should be able to get it working. I have tested it on Windows by compiling with the the mingw cross-complier, so any changes needed to get it to compile on the Mac should only be minor.

The patched files will not be the same if you customise the .conf file differently. The .conf files here are only examples, based on my preferences for the Glo, most people will want to adjust them to suit their preferences and device.

Also it is probably not legal to distribute modified Kobo firmware.
