How to use this driver in C project? , e.g. an ESP-IDF hello_world example project written in C language

Hello, I tried to import the i2c and MPU repository as component under my 'hello_world' example project given by ESP-IDF.
if I modify the main.c into main.cpp by modifying some lines in main.c file and CMakeList.txt, the components works.

However, My project with lvgl lib needs to be developed by C language. When I directly using this driver for my MPU6050 on I2C, the error occurs when compiling.

How to use the cpp-written components in C project?

below is the file structure of my project:

Some error about namespace, I guess I need to configure something for using C++ component in C proj. but How?

Thank you very much!!
