You can find the source in ftp.afterstep.org:
/devel/snapshots snapshots of the
afterstep in archives
/devel/patches patches to the latest
snapshot

The AfterStep source is not Linux-specific. It compiles
(as far as I did it) fine for Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
I am running version 1.7.150 now on my Sun.

I do not think you will need a C++ compiler. gcc or cc should
be fine (although I always use gcc I compiled it with cc a couple
of times long time ago).
You will need some libraries and header files. At least XPM
library is mandatory. JPEG and PNG libraries are recommended.
