[slime-devel] Re: [PATCH] slime-path needed for compiling slime-changelog-date in slime.el

Helmut Eller wrote: [...]

This is a bit a tricky. Your patch works when SLIME is in Emacs' load-path, but that's not necessarily the case during byte-compilation. Compiling slime-changelog-date requires something like *compile-truename* and the closest Emacs variable for this is byte-compile-current-file. Unfortunately this is not present in all Emacs versions

How about `load-file-name', or does that not work when byte-compiling? [...] -- lawrence mitchell <wence@gmx.li>
