Must be. Can you verify that sympref is still set to native after these
tests ran? Either by looking at the output or checking sympref after the
test suite completes. I tried to make sure that sympref would restore
the ipc that the user requested after its own tests mess with it,
regardless of pass or fail, but it's possible it gets reset to the
default somehow.

It does get reset to system from whatever was set earlier. But, that's why I did test the other files (that come after sympref alphabetically) one by one using 'test' and they passed all the tests using pytave.

Well, on changing --no-gui-libs to --no-gui, make check finishes the tests and it shows 289 passed and some XFailed but then after that I also see the message that octave crashed!!

I donno how make is calling octave but when I am in bin directory of octave, there are only .exe files and calling 'octave --no-gui' works perfectly well there.

Probably closing of window is shown as crash by windows. Because I tried to call octave.bat in octave directory (not bin) using

        octave --no-gui --eval "addpath 'D:/repos/pytave'; runtests 'D:/repos/pytave' "

and everything works fine.

And yes, I saw octave.bat it only recognises 1 option, i.e., --no-gui.

Yes, sorry I couldnt get time to open that yesterday. I have done it now.
