This is probably the simplest way I can think to explain it. A program is written in source code, which although is complex is fairly easy for knowledgeable humans to read. However, computers don't understand source code so it needs to be compiled into binary for it. A compiler is a program that translates source code into a binary executable program.

This guide shows you how to do it on your own. I myself just download the precompiled builds, but this is still a very helpful guide.

It's for programmers or people customizing the RB source. Compiling is taking the code that makes up a program and turning it into what the computer can recognize. Thanks, by the way. Great tutorial.

This tutorial is mainly for people who want to change colors. See the "ITS CHRISTMAS" thread by pi if you don't already know how.

The link works fine for me and the guide is there.

(edit: Oops-- I think you were referring to the other guide. However, the above truly does work and is easy to use, once you have the compiling environment in place--I recommend the developer's kit installation.)
