Hi, I think the current build system is a bit too naive though. On my distro archlinux the libdrm headers are installed in /usr/include/libdrm, which causes the include to drm/drm.h in src/lib/query_drm.c to fail. So if it is in /usr/include/drm on Ubuntu, we are going to need some autodetection to find the right include path. Autotools definitely sounds like overkill to me, and the current build system is pretty simple indeed, but needing to change the source isn't ideal. By the way, I don't think the current make system handles dependencies on headers correctly? e.g. if I modify umrapp.h, make rebuilds nothing. This is one of the things cmake gives you for free, though with a bit of work make can do it too.
