Help needed to setup Passphrase with GNUPG 2.0.26 on Solaris 10

[SubramaniaRao, ravikumar]

Peter,

Thank for your Input.  Please help me where I will get the tar File for Qt pinentry, so that I can install it. If QT Pinetry is not required, when I try to set up the Passphrase
I get this error
gpg-agent[7931]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: IPC connect call failed
gpg-agent[7931]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry
gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: Key generation canceled.

Cheers,
S. Ravi Kumar

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?

>  W32 PINENTRY .....: NO

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

HTH,

Peter.
