As you can see for yourself there are no warnings or errors so that looks promising. However, you should skim those debug results (which I did not do myself) to make sure there is nothing unexpected going on for any of those examples that are run by that test. Those "black and grey windows" are what I see here as well. They are apparently an artifact of the current wxPLViewer implementation where nothing is displayed for that GUI until the buffer representing all the plot activity for a particular page has been accumulated, then at EOP that display is immediately removed again. That is fine for normal interactive use where you are clicking on the GUI to move through the pages. But the effect for the -np (no pause) option is the page flashes on the screen for a microsec or so, and you end up only seeing that weird effect. If I recall correctly from when I was testing on -dev wingcc on the Wine version of Windows there was a similar weird effect with -np there (which was likely due to the same cause). As a low-priority item I have asked Phil to fix this -np issue for -dev wxwidgets by following the buffer models used by -dev xwin, -dev xcairo, and -dev qtwidget which display the buffer results as they become available for the test_c_xwin, test_c_xcairo, and test_c_qtwidget targets rather than waiting until the buffer has been accumulated for the entire page. But since I plan to greatly improve the efficiency of the IPC between -dev wxwidgets and wxPLViewer in any case right after this release I may end up fixing the -np issue myself at the same time since the two issues are likely closely related. And someone should similarly fix -dev wingcc. But meanwhile even with these weird-looking results for the -np option for -dev wxwidgets and -dev wingcc, that option is still extremely useful for the interactive tests associated with building the test_c_wxwidgets and test_c_wingcc targets because it means you test several examples (rather than just one or two) for such obvious run-time issues as segfaults, and you don't have to babysit the test by constantly clicking on the GUI as the test goes through those several examples.
