press f9 and OK, then wait for the compile to finish (it'll take a while and probably freeze for a bit if you're using hammer's compiler).

also, check your compile log for errors. if you don't have a bsp after compile, something's wrong with the map and the compile was aborted.

Good news- there's nothing wrong with your map, as there really couldn't be anything wrong since its a box.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Build Programs, does it look like this?
