How to create 32-bit app from C::B on 64-bit architecture?

[kathbeau]

I have been working on Linux for only a few months, so... still a newbie.

My dev environment is C::B 13.12, wxWidgets 3.0, g++/gcc 4.71, running on 64-bit Debian 7.

I need to be able to create a 32-bit build of my C::B app, but I don't know how to specify that.

And here's a curiosity: I cross-build this app on my Win7-64 machine with the same version of C::B. On this machine, the default C::B output seems to be 32-bit. (I am 99% certain of that, because the app calls a DLL that I build for Windows using a compiler for which I do know how to create both 64-bit and 32-bit output.)

So I guess this is a two-part question:

1. How can I create both 64-bit and 32-bit apps from my Linux environment?
2. Does the Windows version of C::B install with 32-bit Mingw, and therefore create only 32-bit?

Thanks for your help with this.

On the Code::Blocks side you have to add the Compiler option -m32 in the CB Project settings under "Compiler Settings" "other options"; but, you still need to do what ever is needed to get Debian to have the 32 bit files needed.

Your second question the answer is yes; CB ships only an 32bit version of the MinGW GCC compiler.
