Did you save it after the change? Is the statement reached? Before and after it 
you could insert an explanatory (message …) statement (I'm before/I'm after). 
Is the f12 key defined after you have bound it to the compile command manually? 
Which function key bindings are listed in the output of C-h b? You could also 
isearch for compile…

What happens when load GNU Emacs with -Q and and -l <an Elisp file containing 
the command to bind f12 to compile>? You could also pass this bind command on 
the command line…
