Install it with guix is recommended as that will work on most linux
distributions.
+ Then add it to your =~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf=
+
+*** Guix on a foreign distro
+
+ If you are running guix on a foreign distro, you need to make sure
+ the =GUIX_LOCPATH= environment variable is passed to the gpg-agent
+ otherwise rofi will fail to set the locale and therefore cannot
+ launch. Which result in the pinentry aborting.
+
+ On a distribution that is using systemd (here I'm using Arch Linux
+ as an example) simply run:
+
+ #+begin_src shell
+ echo "GUIX_LOCPATH=$GUIX_LOCPATH"
+ #+end_src
+
+ Copy that, then run:
+ #+begin_src shell
+ systend --user edit gpg-agent.service
+ #+end_src
+
+ And add it in the =override.conf=:
+ #+begin_src conf
+ [Service]
+ Environment=GUIX_LOCPATH=%h/.guix-profile/lib/locale
+ #+end_src
+
+ On my system, =GUIX_LOCPATH= points to the default profile i.e.
+ =$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale=. =%h= in systemd gives you the
+ path to the home directory. This should be the case for most
+ people, but if your =GUIX_LOCPATH= points to something different
+ change the =override.conf= to reflect that.
+
** Arch Linux
- Clone my aur repo and the build the package using the PKGBUILD:
+ The =PKGBUILD= file for arch is in the =build-aux=, so just run:
#+begin_src shell
- git clone https://github.com/plattfot/pinentry-rofi-aur.git
- cd pinentry-rofi-aur
+ cd build-aux
makepkg -ic
#+end_src
The binary location is then `/usr/bin/pinentry-rofi`.
+
** From Source
See [[file:HACKING][HACKING]] on how to build this from source
+* Gpg-agent
+
+ To use =pinentry-rofi= with =gpg-agent=, you can set it as the
+ =pinentry-program= in the =~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf=. Note that you
+ need to use the full path to the binary.
+
+ For example for Arch Linux this would be:
+ #+begin_src conf
+ pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-rofi
+ #+end_src
+
+ And for guix:
+ #+begin_src conf
+ pinentry-program <HOME>/.guix-profile/bin/pinentry-rofi
+ #+end_src
+ Where =<HOME>= is the full path to home for your user.
+
+ Don't forget to restart =gpg-agent= for the changes to take affect:
+ #+begin_src shell
+ gpg-connect-agent reloadagent /bye
+ #+end_src
