You need to include the files surrounded by extern "C" { }.
I'd really like to adopt the convention used by many libraries etc of doing this automatically - detecting a c++ compiler in the preprocessor and wrapping in "extern "C"" .
Having the codebase c++-clean enough to compile with a c++ compiler seems to be the easiest way to maintain that, but means more "extern "C"" droppings in the .c files, not just the headers. Still, pretty ignoreable.
