Nobody needs to manually write bindings nowadays

https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep

I use it to generate the bindings of the C headers libs i need

Works most of the time, sometimes i have to do some cleanup, but 
it's faster than doing all the thing manually

Alternatively one can use dpp https://github.com/atilaneves/dpp
