I guess that would depend on how comfortable you are in setting up the
environment need to run the make file.
I've not done it myself so I can't advise; maybe Mark Wieder or one of
the core team folks can offer guidance if you get stuck.
I should probably get around to setting that up myself sometime, but I'm
a scripter at heart and do primarily UX/UI by trade, so it's been a low
priority for me. And with the turnaround time the team's been doing
lately, just about every time I think I may want to set that up a new
build is available so I haven't needed to.
I very much appreciate that the team often includes a link to the Github
pull request in the Bugzilla report it relates to, such as this one Mark
Waddingham included for #19045:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/5020
I've found that reading the comments at those links can help me better
understand the scope of a change.
And when I see the Vulcan (automated test system) report "pass" I feel
pretty confident it's gone well, such as we see there in a comment from
two days ago:
