The "Generate ToC from major headings" function is looking for heading tags in the epub. It is looking for h1, h2 and h3 tags. With that error, it means the chapter headings in the epub are not defined by heading tags. This means the chapter titles in the epub are paragraphs with styles to make them stand out. In this case, you will probably need to use the "Generate ToC from XPath". When doing this, you need to define a pattern to match the chapters in the book. I'm not an expert on this, but there are help links from with the dialogs.

As to an epub editor: Sigil. It has a forum here which has links and discussion on using it. If I am right about the chapter headings, you should be able to do a Regex find and replace to change them to heading tags and then generate the TOC.
