LyX fails to build because wrong compiler

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Hello.
After half a year, I decided to upgrade my Macports. However, LyX doesn't build. The upgrade program tells me I use an too old compiler and fails to build. I cleaned LyX and tried again, failed again. How do I set the right compiler for LyX? Did I somehow trigger a wrong system variable? What is to be done?
Below is the Warning message I get before the build fails:
Warning: The port 'LyX' uses the cxx11 PortGroup which is deprecated. Warning: Please instead specify the required c++ standard directly using Warning: compiler.cxx_standard 2011 Warning: replacing 2011 with newer standards (e.g. 2014, 2017) as required. Warning: For more details see https://trac.macports.org/wiki/CompilerSelection

this seems to be killing the newest of the failures on the buildbot:
linkback/LinkBackServer.m:175:23: error: use of undeclared identifier 'NSAlertStyleCritical'
which indeed is 12+ <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsalertstyle/nsalertstylecritical?language=objc>

try this <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/8287>
works for me on 10.6.8.

Alright. At first, thanks for reading through this. The port status doesn't say anything about compilers if I understood that correctly.
@Ken I see your contribution changes a compiler setting. But how do I integrate your bugfix? Is it easier to simply wait until it's part of the next upgrade version?

The cxx11 PortGroup warning is only a warning. Yes we should fix it but it should not prevent the port from being installed or upgraded.
If you were not able to install or upgrade the port due to an error, please attach the main.log file so that we can see what the problem was. I do see from our Lyx port status page that we do have a problem building LyX for 10.11 and earlier.
