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

Here's a simple patch without which I couldn't compile slime.el in XEmacs. It complained about the variable slime-path not being defined when compiling slime-changelog-date.

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 I committed the patch anyway. If we ever have a proper install script we can bind byte-compile-current-file before compiling. Helmut.
