The first error in the log is:

/opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h:130: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

Where does that file come from, by the way? I don't have it on my system, where xqilla builds fine.

port provides /opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Upon further reflection I realize that FlexLexer.h is provided by the flex port. If I install the flex port, I can reproduce the error.

So the workaround for you is to deactivate the flex port for the duration of the xqilla build.

sudo port clean xqilla
sudo port -f deactivate flex
sudo port install xqilla
sudo port activate flex

[dgonyier (Dwaine Gonyier)]

I tried the suggested workaround and xqilla built successfully.
