Warnings when byte-compiling spam.el

Warnings when byte-compiling spam.el

[Emerick Rogul]

I'm getting the following warning messages when I byte-compile spam.el
with the latest version of Oort from CVS (using Emacs 21.1.1).  Does
anyone know what's causing this and how I can fix the errors?  I
haven't configured any spam.el functionality.

  While compiling the end of the data in file
  /csa/forum/emerick/gnus/lisp/spam.el: ** The following functions are
  not known to be defined: spam-BBDB-register-routine,
  bbdb-create-internal, spam-enter-ham-BBDB

I think this is because of the mess with the BBDB macros defined in
bbdb-com.el.  It shouldn't be a problem because of the condition-case,
I thought.  Can anyone suggest a better way to deal with those macros,
or point me to the Emacs Lisp features I'm not aware of to hush up the
warnings?

Just put the functions/macros in the maybe-bind lists in lpath.el to
make the warning messages go away.

Thanks for the advice.  I used lpath.el and the warning went away.

Now, whenever I start Gnus and try to use the BBDB ham processor
spam-enter-ham-BBDB, I get this error:

Adding address onedollar@brown.bidz.com to BBDB

The curious thing is, when I do (eval-buffer) in spam.el, I don't get
the errors anymore.  So there is some sort of discrepancy, it seems,
between spam.el and spam.elc as far as the BBDB goes.  It may have
been there before, I always use eval-buffer while testing.

I think I'm doing things correctly, though.  All the BBDB
functionality is loaded inside a condition-case, and the functions
plus the bbdb-search macro are aliased to 'ignore by lpath.el.

Oh, right.  That's a macro and not a function, and compiling
something thinking it's a function, but it's really a macro just
doesn't work.  So you have to remove that from the fbind stuff in
lpath, and instead require bbdb when you are compiling spam.el.

I couldn't get bbdb-search to be compiled in properly, so instead I
used bbdb-search-simple which is just a function, not a macro like
bbdb-search.  spam.el compiles cleanly now, and the BBDB checks and
ham processing functionality appear to be usable.
