Ninja error building fonts. ninja: error: build.ninja:57: multiple rules generate

[juandelperal]

Hi team!

Trying to build fonts I get this error:

(venv) ➜  Montserrat git:(merge-forked-changes) gftools builder sources/config.yaml
ninja: error: build.ninja:57: multiple rules generate ../fonts/variable/Montserrat[wght].ttf

Removed file: /Users/juan/projects/Montserrat/sources/build.ninja
Removed directory: /Users/juan/projects/Montserrat/sources/master_ufo
Done building fonts!
(venv) ➜  Montserrat git:(merge-forked-changes)

(Note that also the message printed is wrong, as it assumes the fonts have been generated: Done building fonts!)

After trying different versions It worked with

(venv) ➜  Montserrat git:(merge-forked-changes) ✗ pip install gftools==0.9.48
[...]
Installing collected packages: gftools
  Attempting uninstall: gftools
    Found existing installation: gftools 0.9.51

Everything works well :)

In these tests I started from an empty venv, installing only gftools.

We have just merged (but not released) a new version of the builder, and I just tested that your font builds fine with that. So you can either go back to 0.9.48 or wait for 1.0.0...
