I have this in my .emacs to set up things for c-mode:


(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
  (c-set-style "user")
  (c-set-offset 'case-label '+)
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)
  (setq fill-column 75)
  (imenu-add-menubar-index)
  (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'turn-on-cwarn-mode)
  (add-hook 'c-mode-hook
            (lambda ()
              (set (make-local-variable 'ispell-skip-region-alist)
                   (cons '("\\\\[abfnrtv\\'\"]") ispell-skip-region-alist))))
  )
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)


You need something like this, modified to hold the values you want to set...
