It doesn't hang for me.  It asks for the full path of the p4
executable (presumably, Perforce, which I don't have), but if I feed
it with a name of a fake executable I create for this purpose, it goes
right on and successfully finishes the compilation.

I tried this both with "emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile" and by
invoking "M-x emacs-lisp-byte-compile RET" from a running Emacs
session, after visiting p4.el, and both methods worked.

This works for me both with the latest released version 10.6 of p4.el
and with the current CVS version.

Do you get the prompt for the full pathname of the p4 executable?  Or
does Emacs hang before that?
