ABSTRACT(maximum200words) The Computer-Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) currently runs only on SPARC workstations running SunOS version 4.1.3. This limits the usefulness ofCAPS, since Sun Microsystems has publicly announced that they have no interest in continuing support for SunOS version 4.x. A solution to this problem is to port CAPS to a PC platform running the Linux operating system. Towards this end, the graphical editor portion ofCAPS was ported onto a lOOMhz Pentium, with 32 MB ofRAM, Linux 3.0, running Motif2.0 on Xwindows. Modifications to both, the Makefile and the graphical editor source code were required for a successful compilation. These modifications were items such as having to compile using various compilers, providing pointers to the Motif and Xwindows Libraries needed to produce the static builds ofthe graphical editor, and a number ofrecompilations of the Linux kernel. As a result of these efforts, the graphical editor, a functional component of CAPS, was successfully ported to this system. The software database, project control and execution support components still remainto be ported as a future development. 14. subjectterms CAPS, Linux, Computer-Aided Prototyping, Software Port 15.
