Jeroen,

That tutorial you mentioned doesn't give you the whole picture about
configuring your OOT module with different needs like yours. Also read
through this one:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OutOfTreeModulesConfig

And note the subtle change between 3.7.2 versus later (currently only
on git) versions. You're going to have to go in and edit your
CMakeLists.txt files in both the root directory of your OOT module and
the lib directory. Right now, what's likely happening is that you
aren't linking against the libraries you need. This tutorial will
explain how to find and link against libgnuradio-fft.so.
