@@ Line 11: / Line 11: @@
 Every system call must have an associated system call number which corresponds to its position in the system call table. This table is transformed / imported into the source as part of the build process. The correct table varies by architecture, but is in the following format/location in the source tree:
-''**//kernelsource//**/arch/**//<archname>//**/entry/syscalls/syscall_**//<variant>//**.tbl''
+''**//<kernelsourcedir>//**/arch/**//<archname>//**/entry/syscalls/syscall_**//<variant>//**.tbl''
 For example, in the x64 version of Linux, **//<archname>//** is ''__**x86**__'' and **//<variant>//** is ''__**64**__''.
