GnuPG 1.* (currently 1.4.10)  does not need pinentry.

pinentry is the interface used by gpg-agent to enter the pin (or the
passphrase), that will be cached (not written to disk) by gpg-agent.

Your query related to gpg 2.0.12 that you had compiled under Linux, but
that didn't work.

For differences between GnuPG 1.* and gpg 2.*, please see

I use currently gpg2 both under MacOSX and under Linux.
