Did the pytave configure give any errors or warnings, everything in the
summary at the end looked like it was detected and correct?

These are likely coming from the interaction between libtool and the
lib*.la files that appear to be part of the Windows binary distribution.
In short, libtool libraries install themselves plus a little helper
shell script that stores details about the library, including installed
location and dependencies. These are a hint, strictly unnecessary, and I
usually delete them first thing because they tend to cause more problems
than they solve, in my humble experience.

Try deleting the liboct*.la files and see if that helps.
