Forcing 32bit compilation on Mac OS X 10.6

I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.

How do I force configure to compile in 32 bit mode?

From serverfault

• You could simply set the CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS :

  export CFLAGS=-m32
  
  export CPPFLAGS=-m32
  

  These flags will simply force gcc to use the -m32 option, which compiles into 32 bits mode.

  So if you only have one file to compile, you can use:

  gcc -m32 myfile.c
