I tried recently compiling DOSBox by myself but am unable to as my attempt ends up in MinGW complaining for missing SDL. The DOSBox wiki article isn't very explicit for beginners (like me) so I'm not sure what am I supposed to do. I opted not to complicate myself and skip compiling SDL myself too. Here's what MinGW reports:

Any suggestions?
Also, how could I add patches to DOSBox? That's also missing from the wiki and INSTALL.
Keep in mind that I never (successfully) compiled anything so sorry for my illiteracy. ^^
Thank you in advance~
