For me it worked with: (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'gcc-c-mode) (defun gcc-c-mode() ;; set gnu style. (c-set-style "gnu") ;; TAB offset set to 2 (setq c-basic-offset 2) ;; Tabs should be 8 (setq indent-tabs-mode t) )
Then I simply edit all my software as if it was GCC (haven't found a way to say : 'only use this for GCC sources'). I am just missing a good mode for .md files.
