If the compiler you use supports both C and C++, you can use C libraries with your C++ programs and vice versa, however using C++ libraries from C can be a bit kludgey and can require you to write bindings, while using C libraries with C++ is less problematic it can also require you to write some interfaces, take a look at the C++ for available libraries.
