It is basically a fork of APE from 9front, but changed to be built "portably" (so in a local check out directory) without overwriting the system utilities. The compiler has several patches and several utilities have been replaced (often with GNU utilities, like gmake, gawk, flex, byacc, GNU m4, ...) and some common dependencies are pre-packaged/included everything can be built by running mk install in the root of the checkout. Then to work with it, you basically just run ./apexp-sh to mount all the directories and make a APExp namespace where you can start building *nix applications. > As for gcc, I worked with early versions (v.3.0.0).
