如何编译包含C源文件的c++源代码?

I'm attempting to use SQLite in a c++ program. My knowledge of C/C++ is limited as I've mostly used Java to this point. I had some classes in college but its been a while and we never covered anything like this. SQLite is written in C. When compiling the program how would you do this? (I have MinGW installed on my windows platform so gcc and g++ are what i use to compile.)I'm attempting to use SQLite in a c++ program.
