gpg-agent: only one trouble before succesfull building

[gabriele.mailing@rvmgroup.it]

Renè,
thank you for your suggestions. I built pth-2.0.6.
It worked fine, but I had to add "-I/usr/local/include ".

So after the error, I made:
cd tools
gcc   -I/usr/local/include -g -O2 -Wall   -o gpg-connect-agent.exe
gpg-connect-agent.o no-libgcrypt.o ../jnlib/libjnlib.a
../common/libcommon.a ../gl/libgnu.a -L/usr/local/lib -lassuan
-lgpg-error -lintl -lz -lpth
cd ..
make

And the gpg-agent built good.

I'll do.

After building, I tried gpg-agent:

$ cd /usr/src/gnupg-1.9.20/agent
$ eval $(./gpg-agent --daemon)

Checked to be sure it is active:
$ ps -a | grep gpg-agent
      3012       1    3012       3012    ? 1005 16:52:40
/usr/src/gnupg-1.9.20/agent/gpg-agent

Checked that the environment is good:
$ set | grep GPG_AGENT
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-ptlT3p/S.gpg-agent:3012:

Checked that the socket is present:
$ ls /tmp/gpg-ptlT3p/
total 1
drwx------+ 2 mnt.vvngrl Nessuno  0 Jun 11 16:52 .
drwxrwxrwt+ 6 mnt.vvngrl Users    0 Jun 11 16:52 ..
srwxr-xr-x  1 mnt.vvngrl Nessuno 53 Jun 11 16:52 S.gpg-agent

So, to be sure to use official cygwin gpg:
$ gpg --version

Ok, let's do litte test:

$ echo "test" | gpg -ase -r 0xEFF5860B | gpg

gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
Enter passphrase:

Oh no...
*gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use*

May be official cygwin gpg lacks agent support ? How do I see if the gpg
executable is compiled with agent support ?
Ah, yes, I've tried the test, but another run of the test requested me
the password again.....

P.S. tried to build pinentry too, installed and run eval $(gpg-agent
--daemon --pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry) but same failure...
