Your software fails to build from source.

I downloaded
http://www.cpp-software.net/software/glass/source_code/glass_source_code_1.0_Beta_1.zip ,
unzipped it [0], and ran "make":

$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `glass.ui', needed by `ui_glass.h'.  Stop.
$ find . -name "glass.ui"
$

Obviously, the released zip is not complete.

Please fix this :)

Kindly,
David

[0] it's better if you release your sources as tar.gz or tar.bz2, and call it
something "standard" like "glass-1.0b1.tar.gz" ;)
