Ryan, did you used this steps in this dgud's post?
That's important because you will be using the latest version of the source codes.

Quote:However, looking at it now it seems that the very latest versions may not be hugely different from 1.4.1 anyway.

There were some bug fixes for 1.4.1.

Quote:Archlinux repo says Wings is 1.4.1 yet if I start it from command or look in "about Wings 3D" it says wings-1.2.x.y.WINGS.

Did you get your sources from git repository? (by using git clone as suggested by dgud in that link).
The wings-1.2.x.y.WINGS will be the value assigned to $WINGS_VSN variable in vsn.mk file (at wings source root) if none information be find about the version. It will look at git repository for get it - take a look ate the WINGS-VERSION-GEN script file.
So, it seems that you program is really the 1.4.1 version, but the information about it will be always the wrong one.
