Subject: bug#19687: 25.0.50, xwidget branch: Byte compilation of "slime.el" fails

From: Stefan Husmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2015 19:46:38 +0100

Package: emacs-xwidgets

The byte-compilation of the most recent slime.el from git (git://github.com/slime/slime) fails when using emacs from xwidget branch in  the latest revision, both when running make or loading slime.el into a runnig emacs and byte-compiling manually.

emacs -Q -L . --batch -f batch-byte-compile slime.el

In toplevel form:
slime.el:79:1:Error: Args out of range: "", 0

Line 79 reads like: 
(require 'etags)

This does not happen with the emacs build from master, but I am still not sure if I should file this against the developers of slime instead. 

Please try to reproduce.

Best Regards
Stefan
