The answers to some of your questions can be found in the FAQ, which is in
the file v2/faq210b.zip from the place you downloaded djgpp. Please follow
up the references to it that I give.

(see FAQ section 8.2)

Make sure your file has a `.cc' extension, indicating that it is C++
source code - if it does not, the compiler will not search the C++ include
directories for header files, and RHIDE won't link in some required
libraries. You could also use a `.cpp' extension, or `.C' (capital) which
I don't recommend.

Also ensure that you have downloaded all the required files for C++
compilation, notably lgp271b.zip.

(see FAQ section 9.5)

Programs compiled with djgpp need a DPMI host to run. The safest way of
ensuring that one is available under all configurations is to include
CWSDPMI.EXE in your distribution (see its copying information first). If
your program can't find a DPMI server it will attempt to load CWSDPMI.

Your programs will already be 32-bit DPMI (Dos Protected Mode Interface)
programs - stop worrying and start coding. :) Compilation instructions are
in the file v2/readme.1st, which you should already have downloaded and
read, and very detailed answers to common and uncommon questions can be
found in the aforementioned FAQ.

: (5)Is there any good online text or tutorials on 32 bit dos programmming

See the intriduction to the FAQ.
