Another way is to use this-expression-source-directory in mzlib/etc

(require mzlib/etc)
(define path (build-path (this-expression-source-directory) ...))

Also should you prefer - you can make use of bzlib/os, which helps simplify
the writing of the system-type case statements:

(require (planet bzlib/os))
(define-runtime-path path (+:windows "sepack.exe" "sepack")) ;; windows =>
sepack.exe; else => sepack
