Are you building directly from a Git checkout? Then you need to call the 
configure script with --enable-maintainer-mode. And you should also call 
the the autogen.sh script before that.

To test building a package I would suggest creating first a proper tarball:

   $ ./autogen.sh
   $ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
   $ make
   $ make distcheck

This will create a tarball that you should be able to use in your 
packaging script as if it came directly from GnuPG upstream.


> 3. How we can set pinentry-tqt to default?

As far as I know the current build system has no option to explicitly 
set the default pinentry. The default pinentry is automatically selected 
among the enabled pinentries, using a hardcoded preference order.

Since we're adding a new pinentry, I have put it at the end of the 
preference list, so it will never be selected as the default unless all 
other pinentries are disabled. I don't want to change that without prior 
approval from other pinentry developers.

Making a pinentry the default simply means installing a symlink from 
$prefix/bin/pinentry to the selected pinentry. So if you're building a 
package for TDE, where it makes perfect sense to use pinentry-tqt as the 
default, I would suggest that in your packaging script, you remove the 
symlink created by pinentry's "make install" and replace it by your own 
symlink to pinentry-tqt.
