Summary
For PEP 517 builds, the current working directory needs to be set to the directory of the source distribution. It turns out that on Windows, if you use a UNC path for the working directory, then relative paths are interpreted relative to the root of the current drive (source). So, when builds attempted to resolve relative paths, they always errored...
This PR ensures that we remove the UNC prefix when setting the current working directory.
Closes #1238.
Test Plan
I tested this on my Windows machine by installing
ujson
with--no-binary ujson
. (I don't want to add that specific test, since it's really slow to build.)
