saratoga:
What is your operating system?

__builtin:
What platform are you building on? nproc is a coreutils component.

GiraffeMan3125:
macOS Catalina. I'm trying to install rockbox on an iPod 5th Gen.

saratoga:
The last few versions of MacOS have broken compatibility with a lot of our development tools. When I tried a few years back, the first thing thing I had to do was install gcc (since Apple stopped supporting it in favor of llvm).

Alternatively you could use a Linux VM or find a windows machine.

bluebrother:
Apply this (I'm going to add it to git later, after I checked it on Linux):


--- Code: ---diff --git a/tools/rockboxdev.sh b/tools/rockboxdev.sh

--- End code ---

After that you'll need further tools, likely best approach is to use homebrew.
