Clone only compiling to 64 bit

eallenvii has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello! I have a 32 bit machine and for some reason, even if i do it by hand or CPAN, make will only produce a 64 bit object file...here is the output.

CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.45)                                      
+                                                                     
+

I'm not amazing at compiling at this level. Any guidance, system or otherwise, is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure the `/app/shared/home/someuser/src/tm/ss/src/shared/lib/cpan/lib/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp` is compatible with your Perl? Please add the output of `perl -V` [download] too (note the capital V). لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Turns out that for whatever reason Clone MakeFile.pl was not respecting any arguments that would tell it to use 32bit so i had to download, modify MakeFile to add -m32 to various FLAGS directives to get it to do the right thing.	[reply]
Re: Clone only compiling to 64 bit by eallenvii (Novice) on Jul 05, 2016 at 20:31 UTC
Alright, im back, a year later...did this again! Found this post and was like...what the heck. Anyhow. A better answer. I did have to modify the MakeFile and add -m32 to the CCFLAGS declaration. This time i was using cpanm and everytime i reran it would redownload the source and overwrite my MakeFile changes. Thus i added --prompt and once it failed it asked me to retry again with the same source. I sat on this prompt and made the changes, then had it retry to success. However, my cowork notated that in the documentation for ExtUtils::MakeMaker it had the right option: `cpanm --configure-args="CCFLAGS=-m32" --local-lib=/app/shared/lib/cpan + Clone@0.34` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
