I can't revert my OS install to test earlier Mac versions.

This should be the same as pgaskin's version. The only change made is replacing a value of 32 by 128 in two places.

I need a 32-bit and 64-bit Linux version. Please make both and replace this attachment and I'll put it in the ZIP file for the patches.

Thanks. I've added it to the ZIP. I'm just waiting for the Linux version to be replace with specific 32- and 64-bit version to replace those and then I'll replace the ZIP and update the first post.

Sorry but I just can't generate a 32bit version. My basic understanding was that I could just override GOs target architecture by setting GOARCH to 386 and then using go build to compile. No matter what I try it persists in creating a 64 bit version. Likewise overriding the target OS by setting GOOS to windows still creates a Linux executable.

Of course if I try a simple Hello World program, all the switches work

Can someone else here create a 32-bit version? I don't know if we need it or not. But I'd rather not take the risk.

Getting the same results as PeterT. I can compile the Linux amd64 version, but trying for 386 I get undefined symbols.

I doubt that there's a huge demand for a 32bit Linux version.

[JSWolf]

Is the consensus that the 32-bit Linux version should be removed from the ZIP file?

With me it's worse than that. Setting the GOARCH and GOOS variables before launching Go still results in an amd64 bit ELF format file being produced

Quck quesion:
If the patch script finishes with

Checking patched KoboRoot.tgz for consistency

Successfully saved patched KoboRoot.tgz to out/KoboRoot.tgz. Remember to make sure your kobo is running the target firmware version before patching.

does that mean that the koboroot file is generally safe to install on the device?

[PeterT]

Yes..

[JSWolf]

Given that the poll I create has nobody voting that they use 32-bit Linux and patch Kobo firmware, I'll just drop the 32-bit Linux program. I'll sort out the ZIP file later today.
