There are a number of forks of rtl-sdr, but the one I use is from

  https://github.com/osmocom/rtl-sdr.git

which has support for the bias tee.

I'm not familiar with the git URLs you posted.

When I built it from source I get everything - the binaries, the
includes and the libraries.

And rtl_fm worked.

As long as you don't randomly mix the source for the rtl-sdr and the
source for the librtlsdr from different forks it shouldn't matter.
