If you don't know the basics of programming (or at least how compilers works), it will be difficult for you to compile dosbox. Better use a precompiled package.

If you wish to compile it anyway, try searching the forum before writing.

a quick hint:

1make clean
2./configure
3make

in the main directory of the source code package.
