You should be. It looks like you have not installed development tools
in your cygwin installation. Eclipse checks in cygwin and if it can't
find all of: binutils, gcc and make, it decides that not enough of gcc
is installed for cygwin to use it. Here is a discussion about it:

I suggest reinstalling cygwin and carefully following the installation
instructions on the lab webpage.

Thanks,
