Just adding to what Johnathan said:

out-of-tree is easier to start with. You can use gr_modtool[1] to create
all the skeleton code, chuck in your driver hooks and be running within
the hour.

Just do something like (change this to whatever you need)

$ gr_modtool.py create fmccomms
$ cd gr-fmccomms/
$ gr_modtool.py add -t sink sink_c
$ gr_modtool.py add -t source source_c

Then, fill in the blanks (i.e. edit lib/fmccomms_sink_c.cc and so on).
