Compiling 32bits qt sources on a 64bit Debian environement

Question

I want to build 32 bits applications on my Debian 64 bits environment.

So, I'm trying to compile the Qt sources in order to get the 32 bits libraries.

I am trying to use the following configure command:

./configure -platform linux-g++-32

Unfortunately, I get an error as below:

Basic XLib functionality test failed!
 You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing

But when I do the following:

./configure -platform linux-g++-64

It's working fine.

Any guesses?
