Eureka, like Yadex, needs to be run from the command line (i.e. the Terminal app). You can specify a PWAD to edit and the map with the following syntax:
code:
./Eureka -file blah.wad -warp map03
Being able to do stuff from the menus is planned but as the README says, some items in the File menu (New, Open, Export) don't do anything yet.
It's odd that symlinks don't work for you -- they work for me OK -- perhaps the name had an uppercase letter in it (e.g. "DOOM2.WAD" won't work, it needs to be fully lowercase).
Only DOOM 2 is supported properly right now, although you could get DOOM 1 (or Final Doom or FreeDoom) working by copying the IWAD as "doom2.wad" in Eureka's folder and using "-warp e1m1" on the command line.
You can add linedefs in the map by going into Vertex Mode (with 'v' key or the button on the bottom left of the window) and pressing INSERT key, select that vertex with left click, move mouse and press INSERT to add another vertex and a linedef between them, and keep going.
You can add sectors by going into sector mode ('s' key) and moving the mouse into a closed off area and pressing INSERT.
You can change stuff by selected the line or sector or thing and modifying stuff in the right-hand panel. Use the File/Save menu or CTRL-S to save the map.
Hope that helps, and Eureka will be easier to use and have decent documentation in the future (when it reaches that "1.00" version number, heh).
