I had a similar issue. Building worked with make CFLAGS="-Wno-error=format-truncation". I haven't used Minimac3 yet, so I'm not sure whether my solution really works.

#1 and #8 refer to similar problems. As suggested there, it might also work to replace libStatGenForMinimac3 in Minimac3/Library with the newest version of libStatGen.
