I'm trying to generate bindings for a largish C++ library while having no C++ experience. I've been hitting constant walls and I don't know how to proceed further, so I'm hoping someone could see the error stacktrace and might know what I'm doing wrong.
When I generate bindings, these are the 6 errors I get:

Some errors have detailed explanations: E0412, E0428.
For more information about an error, try `rustc --explain E0412`.
error: could not compile `libsumo` due to 6 previous errors
I'm hoping that the E0412 errors (which are 5/6 errors) I can fix by just manually adding the generics, and I hope that's ok? I'm unsure why bindgen would generate something like this... is this some artifact of my setup being wrong?
For the one E0428 error... I have no idea what to do. It looks like bindgen is making these as a wrapper around something in the C++ standard library, but I have no experience with C++ so I could be wrong... but if it is, why would it wrap the same thing twice?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've never done any FFI before, and I have no C++ experience... so I appreciate the help!
I've also tried running this on Ubuntu, and I get different specific errors, but of the same types (E0412 and E0428). If it's not possible to bind this C++ library, I'll just have to abandon Rust for this project.
