"Cross GCC" option not available under “Toolchain for Indexer Settings”

Greetings fellow ESP32 Enthusiasts!

I just started with ESP32, and followed instruction on getting started.
I have been able to connect to ESP32 and edit/compile/run a sample application using make.
But, I seem to run into an issue when I try to set up Eclipse (I am running Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, and Eclipse 3.8.1):
Import new project instructions at
https://dl.espressif.com/doc/esp-idf/la ... setup.html
tell me to choose “Cross GCC” under “Toolchain for Indexer Settings”, but I do not seem to have that as an option, see the attached screen shot...

What am I doing wrong? How do I get past this and get to use Eclipse for ESP32 development?

Please try using a less dated version of Eclipse. The instructions were written for Eclipse Neon (version 4.6), i think "Cross GCC" option did not exist at the times of Eclipse 3.8.

Thank you for a quick reply.
You are right.
As soon as I upgraded to Eclipse 4.7.1, I was able to compile like a squirrel!
