I downloaded Wine sources using git-gui, compiled it and it worked great. Then I wanted to update it, so I run sudo make uninstall, then in git-gui I did remote - fetch from origin. Then I did ./configure make depend make -j4 sudo make install And when I checked the version with wine --version, it gave me the old one wine-1.1.5-399-g82f77cc instead of wine-1.1.5-xxx-g3a2dda1 where "xxx" is number of commits since last release (I guess). The last commit is "msvcrt: Pass the command interpreter as exe name from _wpopen." So did I make something wrong? Is my Wine up-to-date? What is the meaning of lif- whoops, wrong forum :-P Some time ago I had the same problem, but then I just erased all sources and downloaded them from scratch. I don't want to do this each time I update Wine. Btw I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.
