PIN Entry
---------
This is a collection of simple PIN or passphrase entry dialogs which
utilize the Assuan protocol as described by the aegypten project; see
http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ for details.
There are programs for different toolkits available. For all GUIs it
is automatically detected which modules can be built, but it can also
be requested explicitely.
GUI OPTION DEPENDENCIES
Curses --enable-pinentry-curses Curses library, for example ncurses
GTK+ --enable-pinentry-gtk Gimp Toolkit Library, eg libgtk and libglib
Qt --enable-pinentry-qt Qt, eg libqt-mt
The GTK+ and Qt pinentry can fall back to the curses mode. The option
to enable this is --enable-fallback-curses, but this is also detected
automatically in the same way --enable-pinentry-curses is. The
fallback to curses also works if --disable-pinentry-curses is
specified. So to disable linking to curses completely you have to
pass --disable-fallback-curses to the configure script as well.
Examples:
* To only build the GTK+ pinentry with curses support:
./configure --enable-pinentry-gtk --enable-fallback-curses \
--disable-pinentry-curses --disable-pinentry-qt
* To build the Qt pinentry, and the other pinentries if they are
supported:
./configure --enable-pinentry-qt
* To build everything that is supported (complete auto-detection):
./configure
Some of the code is taken from Robert Bihlmeyer's Quintuple-Agent.
For security reasons, all internationalization has been removed. The
client is expected to tell the PIN entry the text strings to be
displayed.
