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

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.
