Yes but this will only check the tests that are in the m-files. There
are many tests also embedded in the C++ source code that this will miss
as the source is not on the path. It will also miss the octave/tests
directory that includes many tests as well. Really the "make check" is
for the builder of octave that has a built version of octave in its
source tree...

Cheers
