Building Pinentry for Windows

[Nikola Radovanovic]

Hello,

Thanks for reply. I have did all that you wrote in the previous mail. I have dropped the pinentry.mk that you attached in the email to the mxe/src folder, but it won't work. 
But, just some moments ago i have successfully built the whole Gpg4Win :), by following the instructions from the README file from the source code. I figured out that the package name for installer is nsis, and not makensis, it is also mentioned in the Basic requirements section of the README file.
Right now, by building the whole gpg4win i have succeeded in what i wanted, but i will certainly try again with MXE to see what is the problem there.

Thanks for your kind responses.
Best regards and cheers to all.
Nikola.

Ah, such things happen, i'll see to it that the download url is updated.

makensis is part of the package nsis, which can be installed with "apt-get
install nsis"

Yes pinentry is not included in mxe. I have written a .mk file for it and
attached it In my Mail from Wednesday. You should have dropped that
pinentry.mk file into the src directory of mxe.

Godspeed,
Andre
