I think that for these libraries your best option is to write simple
wrappers with extern "C" interface (that is, C wrappers) and pragma
Import that interface to Ada.

Note also that a significant part (if not all) of this is already
available in Ada in the standard library or in the GNAT library - it
might be easier and more natural to use what Ada offers first before
reaching out to C++ libraries.
I would go for interfacing to an existing C++ library only when
something much more specialized is involved. Numeric computation or
communication infrastructure are possible examples.
A database library would be another example, see SOCI-Ada linked
below.
