Issue running configure.py from path other than local.

[huntrontrakkr]

Hello,

As part of our CI scripting, we are attempting to build-out the library either as a distributable from a CI or in the install script itself for a software package. The issue lies in attempting to run the install script from any other path other than directly within the directory. i.e.:

python ./connextdds-py/configure.py -j 4 -m -d x64Linux4gcc7.3.0

This results in:

  File "./connextdds-py/configure.py", line 381, in <module>
    main()
  File "./connextdds-py/configure.py", line 367, in main
    update_config(
  File "./connextdds-py/configure.py", line 215, in update_config
    requires = ast.literal_eval(config.get('build-system', 'requires'))
  File "/home/whunter/anaconda3/envs/dds-server-clone/lib/python3.8/configparser.py", line 781, in get
    d = self._unify_values(section, vars)
  File "/home/whunter/anaconda3/envs/dds-server-clone/lib/python3.8/configparser.py", line 1149, in _unify_values
    raise NoSectionError(section) from None
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'build-system'

If there is a good workaround please advise. As always, appreciated.

There were some relative path issues in configure.py. Please try pulling the latest from the develop branch and see if that resolves your CI issues.

That definitely did, thanks! I'll revise my script once the change has been pulled into the main branch.
