Then the above two lines are what you want.  Although you might
need to add a header -- the compiled version of the regtest adds
some \paper settings.

So you'd first want to go through the input/regressions/ directory
and then:
  cat header-copied-from-a-compiled-regtest.ly $actual_file > tmp.ly
  lilypond tmp.ly

I'm imagining a 5 line (or so) bash script.

That's not the version in git.  The version in the git source code
is found in input/regressions/ , and does *not* include the
lilypond-book-preamble.

Do you have the source code?  You said that you could compile
lilypond, so you must have.  Look in the input/regressions/
directory.
