Oh, it isn't in the master branch yet, so even if you installed the
daily PPA, you wouldn't get it quite yet. I made a pull request for
that branch so that Benoît first has to comment on the interface or
other aspects of the code before it is available even to daily users.
Extra bleeding-edge people can checkout and compile the branch right
now though.

There's a learning curve for me here.  I am reading "How To Deal With Git and Gitlab".  I was also able to find your source code at "gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/blob/3b166c7f9b1e11a99938209fcaf3191fb726ccd8/main/lib/joystick/c_joystick.c", and have studied it some.

My first experimentation with FFTW was to try to access it directly from Gambas.  I went the wrapper approach because of the memory issue (rendered moot) and there seem to be data type declarations I don't know how to match to Gambas equivalents, complex being one case.

I think I may write a "shared library code" to "Gambas component source".  Don't hold your breath, I will have to do both manually to work out the details.  Would you be willing to take an attempt of mine, quality control it, and install it if good enough?  I don't think I am ready to swim in the deep end yet.
