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?
