I tried to download and build but I get a few errors. What is the current status of the project?

Thanks for the interest. I only ever got halfway to getting this to compile - if I remember, something like 2/3rds of the source files compile in the current state. So it's nowhere near usable. Even once all the source files compile, the UI .nibs probably need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

All the code needs to be converted from the old NeXTStep API to the modern Cocoa one (roughly equivalent to the OpenStep API). There are some significant differences that make this quite a bit of work. It seems that when NeXTStep was standardized as OpenStep, they changed a whole bunch of things. There are some copies of the original NeXTStep developer documentation online which are useful when fixing such compile errors.

Someone on Doomworld did get DoomEd working with an emulated NeXT VM.

There is a modern port available, in case someone like me wanders here: http://twilightedge.com/mac/redoomed/
