The PIN-Entry package contains a collection of simple PIN or pass-phrase entry dialogs which utilize the Assuan protocol as described by the Ägypten project. PIN-Entry programs are usually invoked by the gpg-agent daemon, but can be run from the command line as well. There are programs for various text-based and GUI environments, including interfaces designed for Ncurses (text-based), Gtk+, Gtk+-2, and Qt-3.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0 platform.

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-pinentry-gtk \
--disable-pinentry-gtk2 \
--disable-pinentry-qt &&
make &&
makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/pinentry_nochunks.html doc/pinentry.texi &&

This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/pinentry-0.8.1/html &&
install -v -m644 README doc/pinentry{_*.html,.txt,.texi} \
/usr/share/doc/pinentry-0.8.1
If you built the additional documentation, install it by issuing
the following commands as the root
user:
install -v -m644 doc/pinentry.html/* \
/usr/share/doc/pinentry-0.8.1/html &&
install -v -m644 doc/pinentry.{pdf,ps,dvi} \
/usr/share/doc/pinentry-0.8.1
--disable-...: These three
parameters are used to fix a problem with the configure script if the optional
dependencies are not installed. If the dependencies are installed,
these parameters may be omitted.
