Using C/C++ enumeration from .h in Rust

The Cargo project requires using an enumeration from a large C header file. There are at least 1000 different variants of this enumeration.

Here is an example of what the header looks like:

#ifndef MY_ENUMS_H
#define MY_ENUMS_H

enum Status {
   OK = 0,
   OUR_BASE = OK,
   CONNECTION_ERROR = OUR_BASE + 1,
   OPEN_FAILED = OUR_BASE + 2,
   ...
};

#endif // MY_ENUMS_H

I'd like to re-use these in Rust. Is there a way to do this? I've looked into bindgen, but it looks like it compiles, whereas this is header only.

I ended up using bindgen to accomplish this.

build.rs file:

fn main() {
    let bindings = bindgen::builder().header("./src/include/enum.h").generate().expect("Unable to generate bindings");
    bindings.write_to_file("./src/enum.rs").expect("Couldn't write bindings");
}

src/main.rs file example:

   include!("enum.rs");
   fn main() {
      let status: Status = Status_CONNECTION_ERROR;
   }
