It is on-topic, IMHO.  No reason to apologize.

DJGPP supports all these languages.  (Well, AFAIK its Basic is
somehow more basic that you might expect ... ;-)  Just install
the compilers and enjoy.  :-)

AFAIK, there are no specific books for DJGPP.  Get a book about
C/C++ and look up the DJGPP-specific information from the excellent
DJGPP FAQ list.

(But don't forget to try GNU Pascal!;-)

Not too big, but of course this depends on what you are going
to program.

Hope this helps,
