I installed c-mode-addons, but have a litle problems with it, and would
like to ask you to help me with it.
The version of c-mode-addon is 0.1 and version of emacs on my machine is 21.3.

I created "c_synopsis_list" with provided bash script in package. Then in
"c-mode-addons.el" I've changed line:
       (synopsis-file "~/elisp/c-mode-addons/c_synopsis_list"))
as suggested, to point to the full file name of "c_synopsis_list". Finally
I've added to my ~/.emacs file:
   (add-to-list 'load-path "~/c-mode-addons-0.1/")
again to point to directory where "c-mode-addons.el" resides (which is the
same place as for "c_synopsis_list"), and at the end, the following lines:
   (load "c-mode-addons")

   (define-key c-mode-map "\M-s" 'c-synopsis-at-point)
   (define-key c++-mode-map "\M-s" 'c-synopsis-at-point)

   (define-key c-mode-map "\C-ce" 'c-eval-enum)
   (define-key c++-mode-map "\C-ce" 'c-eval-enum)

   (define-key c-mode-map "(" 'c-electric-parenthesis-open)
   (define-key c++-mode-map "(" 'c-electric-parenthesis-open)

But when I add any of the last 6 lines (those defining c/c++-mode-map) I
get error when starting emacs:
---start---
(emacs .emacs)
Loading disp-table...done
Loading font-lock...
Loading regexp-opt...done

Loading c-mode-addons (source)...done


An error has occurred while loading `/home/axa/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: c-mode-map

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error
backtrace
---end---
And when I call emacs again with `--debug-init' options, I get:
---start---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable c-mode-map)
  (define-key c-mode-map "(" (quote c-electric-parenthesis-open))

Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm using `c-mode-base-map' and this works for me.

After byte-compiling and putting the library into my load-path, I have the
following in my init files for GNU Emacs and XEmacs:

;; ** C mode addons
(load "c-mode-addons")
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook
	  (function (lambda ()
		      ;; (define-key c-mode-base-map "(" 'c-electric-parenthesis-open)
		      (define-key c-mode-base-map "\M-s" 'c-synopsis-at-point)
		      (define-key c-mode-base-map "\C-ce" 'c-eval-enum))))

The reason I'm not using `c-electric-parenthesis-open' is that this overwrites
the original binding of "(" to `c-electric-paren' in c-mode. If I'm getting
around to it, I will try to fix this.

By the way, where do you got the package? I googled it from the original posting
to gnu.emacs.sources, but found all links to a package download dead...
