Dear all,
sorry if I put the message in wrong chan,
I try to compile the pinentry-curses package into Cyg environment (pinentry version 1.1.0)
I obtain the executable file and I use it into the mintty/bash.
I obtain a strange behaviour when I decrypt a gpg file using curses version and I try to insert the passphrase.
A dialogue box is drawn on the terminal with all keys information correctly.
When I enter my passphrase anything I type on the terminal window is just echoed at the bottom of the screen,
I can't exit normally (i.e by pressing enter or escape).
The only way is by typing Ctrl-C.
The mintty-bash prompt, returns but the pinentry-curses process remain running for additional time.
What do you think about this problem?
I thank you in advance for your precious assistance and the oppotunity to write this email.
With my best regards
A.

No, but reproducible description of what you did would be a good
prerequisite to expect a reasonable response.

What package? Reference, download link? How did you compile?

The one you compiled or a downloaded Windows binary? The symptoms sound
more like the latter.

What's the command you run?

I think you likely run a Windows binary that is not compatible with the
terminal pty interface. But I cannot be sure without the requested
information.

Hi Thomas,
below my detailed items:
What package? Reference, download link? How did you compile?
I downloaded the package directly from gpg site into download page version.
The version of pinentry package 1.1.0 (2017-12-03).
I compile with read me process indicated which is included into the package.
I run ~/.configure and after ./make.
I obtained pinentry-courses.exe
What's the command you run?
I execute this command on mintty-bash prompt:
$ gpg-agent --daemon --disable-scdaemon --no-detach --ttyname /dev/pty0 --ttytype xterm --pinentry-program /bin/pinentry-curses.exe
$ gpg --decrypt myencryptedfilename.gpg.
From this moment the behaviour is :
A dialogue box is drawn on the terminal with all keys information correctly.
When I enter my passphrase anything I type on the terminal window is just echoed at the bottom of the
I must type CTRL-C to return on shell and the
I can noted also that this test is OK:
$ echo -e "OPTION ttyname=/dev/pty0 \nSETDESC MESSAGE TO PRINT IN CURSES WINDOW\nGETPIN" | pinentry-curses
The output is correct so I obtained on prompt :
OK Pleased to meet you
OK
OK
D characters interted into right window curses space
OK
Is the pinentry-curses and pinentry-tty not compatible with cygwin-mintty-bash environment?
Thanks for your precious support
Alessandro
