Compiling error with pinentry

[Daniel Cerqueira]

Hello.

I am not subscribe to this mailing list, so please CC me if you are
replying to the mailing list.  Thanks!

I am having trouble compiling pinentry.  I always compile all the GnuPG
suite, so I don't install any GnuPG program by my package manager (which
is pacman).

My operating system is Parabola.

Can someone tell me if they can reproduce this compiling error issue
below, and ways for me to solve this?

Here is the compile error that I get:

```
