What are the benefits of compiling? (Was: So compiling will....)

SataniK:
I am trying to do all of this compiling stuff although it is tough for me to understand I want to do it atleast I think so what are the benefits besides being able to apply patches?

saratoga:
Compiling lets you make changes to the code (via patches, your own edits, etc).  If you're not interested in that, theres very little reason to do it.

SataniK:
So your saying that I could change it up to be more "personal" well I am not very good at coding but I have the EvilG build and that allows patches so I guess this is something I need to do to get those patches right?

saratoga:
Custom builds include certain patches, but they don't "allow" them.

If you want to work with patches, I suggest reading the handy guides on working with them:

SataniK:
I am sorry let me rephrase this I was under the impression to get the patches that are compatible with the EvilG build I need to do this compiling am I lost in the woods here?
