*When building from development source (default branch)
:    "make check"
:passes almost all the tests. Only, and not substantial, failures are:
:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
/pub/hg/octave/src/data.cc : 8 failures due to different handling of complex Inf on sort
/pub/hg/octave/src/syscalls.cc: 1 failure on fork. This disappears when octave is installed
/pub/hg/octave/scripts/sparse/svds.m: 1 failure due to test sensitivity on starting point. See
