You weren't entering a passhprase there. If it were asking for a 
passphrase, it wouldn't show your typing. Instead, your input was most 
likely simply not processed and echoed on the terminal. Try this and see 
what I mean:

$ sleep 10
Just type anything interesting in the 10 seconds the program sleeps
$ Just type anything interesting in the 10 seconds the program sleeps

That last line will be the new prompt with what you just typed echoed 
/again/, as it is now processing your input and using it as the command 
line.

Are you sure there is an error? I interpreted it as that the Qt 
pinentry was simply not built, but the others, and the wanted curses 
pinentry was. Were there any binaries generated by the build?

>  QT PINENTRY ......: NO
>  QT4 PINENTRY .....: NO
>  W32 PINENTRY .....: NO

See? If it's not going to build the Qt version, why would it need any 
Qt headers?

HTH,

Peter.
