1) MinGW does not handle %td and %zu, so a default build triggers tons of warnings. Rajesh, you can add CFLAGS="-Wno-format-extra-args -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wformat=0" CXXFLAGS="-Wno-format-extra-args -Wno-stringop-overflow -Wformat=0" to have much fewer gibberish printed on screen
2) I’m able to reproduce the “Circular […] dependency dropped.” warnings after doing two successive make, but I know too little about Fortran (or Sowing?) to understand what could trigger this.
But I agree with Satish, the build looks good otherwise and should work.
I made the necessary changes to Sowing, I hope I’ll be able to finish the MR (https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests/5903/) by the end of the day so you can switch back to using the repository, if need be.

Thanks,
Pierre
