So you've put the macros file as /usr/share/man/tixman.macros. That's sensible. Now you want the manpages to use this file? The thing to do is to edit the man-pages to the line that says: .so man.macros becomes: .so tixman.macros Doing this with sed in the rules file should be pretty straightforward.
