Issues in macOS 10.15 Catalina

[rex4539]

Many issues on the new macOS client.

I'm on macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Icon keeps jumping in dock endlessly and the app never actually launches properly.

A zeronet daemon is spawned though but the only way to shut it down is to kill it from Terminal.

I also see the following error recorded:

RSA ECC SSL CAcert generation failed, CAcert or CAkey files not exist. (4516904556:error:0EFFF068:configuration file routines:CRYPTO_internal:variable has no value:/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/libressl/libressl-47.11.1/libressl-2.8/crypto/conf/conf_def.c:563:line 57)

Thanks for reporting

I was able to install 10.15 to a vmware vm and reproduce the problems:

• Missing TCL/TK files (fixed by adding a minimal tk)
• OpenSSL cert generation failed: Looks like macOS no longer includes OpenSSL. Instead it has LibreSSL that is not fully compatible with current method.

Possible fixes:

• Make cert generation compatible with libressl
• Include OpenSSL

(I will publish the new version when all the problems fixed)

I made a modification to make it compatible with libressl bundled with macos (HelloZeroNet/ZeroNet@448bb3c) and also fixed the bouncing icon problem by adding a minimal tcl/tk environment. d21cbb1
