[SOLVED]Cannot compile Wine on Arch64

Question

I am trying to compile the 32 bit version of Wine on Arch 64. I know I could use PKGBUILDS and all that but I want to compile it from scratch.
I am not very experienced (at all) so please  post in retard language for me.
bash-3.2# ./configure
checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for g++... g++
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes
checking for cpp... cpp
checking whether gcc -m32 works... no
configure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.
I have installed the lib32 package, I don't know what I'm missing. I have done this before on an X86_64 system but never on Arch Linux.
Any ideas on what I might need?
Thanks!

I'll try this. When I have compiled wine, do I need to use the Arch32 system every time I want to load a program?
Also, is this the only way to do it?
Thanks.
You're going to need a bunch of 32 bit libraries to run 32 bit Wine. Either a chroot or lib32 libraries will work.
I don't know much about cross compilers, so I can't help with your other question. What distro were you running when you did this before?
