I can't answer to your build problem (I don't have knowledge).  I only
answer to your pinpad problem.

I don't know if we have any experience with SPR332.  By the way, this
month, I created a Wiki page for pinpad input, so that it helps users:

    http://wiki.gnupg.org/CardReader/PinpadInput

In that page, I am gathering information about readers which support
pinpad input.


Well, let me explain scdaemon.  The scdaemon works like this:

  (1) When opening the connection (open_pcsc_reader), it calls
      pcsc_vendor_specific_init to get vendor specific information,
      specifically, information for pinpad input.

  (1-1) It calls conrol_pcsc with CM_IOCTL_GET_FEATURE_REQUEST.
        Here, reader_table[slot].pcsc.verify_ioctl (and others) is
        filled, if the reader supports FEATURE_VERIFY_PIN_DIRECT.

  (1-2) It calls conrol_pcsc with GET_TLV_PROPERTIES.

  (2) When apdu_check_pinpad is called, it calls check_pcsc_pinpad
      to check if the reader support pinpad input.
      When reader_table[slot].pcsc.verify_ioctl is filled it returns
      0 (success).

It seems for me that you've tried to circumvent the checking of (2),
but the real issue is (1-1).

Here, we don't see any log (for the step (1-1)).

If it fails for CM_IOCTL_GET_FEATURE_REQUEST, we might see something
like:

   pcsc_vendor_specific_init: GET_FEATURE_REQUEST failed: ...

Or else, we should see:

   feature: code=??, len=??, v=??

We don't see any log...  It means that the call got success, but it
returned empty information.  In this situation, pinpad input doesn't
work.

This is at (2).


Well, I found an article in OpenSC mailng list:

    http://opensc.1086184.n5.nabble.com/Pinpad-support-for-SCM-Microsystems-Inc-SPRx32-USB-Smart-Card-Reader-td5270.html

Could you check your firmware version?
