I don't recommend trying to create an overlay. Doing this puts the burden of making things work on your system entirely on you, makes it difficult for anyone to help you with future problems since nobody else has the set of overlay ports you do, and it does nothing to help all the other users who were experiencing the same problem you were. MacPorts has a single official set of portfiles. Let's instead expend our effort on making that collection of ports work on your system and everybody else's. For example, in your ticket, I mentioned that your build is failing at least in part because it requires a C++17 compiler and MacPorts hasn't selected one. Try changing the "compiler.cxx_standard" line in the portfile from 2011 to 2017. That's not the correct fix (the correct fix would limit this change to only the affected subports) but if it works, it will let us know that we are on the right track.
