Hmmm it's a bit difficult to say without knowing exactly what you are doing.
it might pay to do some background reading on gcc, option flags, makefiles, etc. but essentially -arch is an option for gcc, which is what compiles your source code.
You need to add -arch (and your chosen architecture) to the relevant gcc calls. Without knowing your setup this is probably in the configure file or possibly directly in the makefile (although I'm guessing the way you have things setup configure is building your makefile). Anyway, I'd suggest doing background reading on whatever your workflow is so that you understand each step of what is happening
Cheers

A am compiling an app from source code on my macbook pro 2011. I first type ./configure then I type make.

Yep - so you need to edit your makefile to contain the arch option when GCC is called.
I really, really recommend reading up on makefiles etc. so you understand what's going on
Good luck!
Usually you'd say something like
It will tell you the options available. It might be something like:
or something like that. Every package is different.
Code:
./configure --helpIt will tell you the options available. It might be something like:
Code:
./configure --with-cflags="-march=i386"or something like that. Every package is different.
One way to do it is with
or with
The arch flag is specific to Darwin/OS X/NeXTStep and won't work on other OSes.
Code:
./configure --with-cflags="-arch i386" --with-ldflags="-arch i386"
Code:
CC="gcc -arch i386" ./configure
