This is true, however the vast majority of applications are still
using alsa midi (jack midi is very recent).
What app are you trying to use that requires jack midi?

To me that looks like you're compiling jack-rack, which is a different
thing from jack. And it looks like jack-rack has a dependency on jack
that can only be met by version >= 0.50.
I'd say make sure you really need to compile jack before you go down
that path, much easier to just use the stuff from the repo's.
