The MacPorts build of root5 is a standard ‘prefix’ installation, and as such does not require ROOTSYS to be set. If you need to access to various bits of information, such as the prefix or standard linker/include paths in Makefiles, you should use ‘root-config5’ instead. e.g.

MacBookPro ~ > root-config5
Usage: root-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--cflags] [--auxcflags] [--ldflags] [--new] [--nonew] [--libs] [--glibs] [--evelibs] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--incdir] [--etcdir] [--noauxcflags] [--noauxlibs] [--noldflags] [--has-<feature>] [--arch] [--platform] [--dicttype] [--config] [--features] [--svn-revision] [--python-version] [--ncpu] [--cc] [--cxx] [--f77] [--ld ] [--help]
MacBookPro ~ > root-config5 --prefix
/opt/local/libexec/root5
MacBookPro ~ > root-config5 --libs
-L/opt/local/libexec/root5/lib/root -lCore -lCint -lRIO -lNet -lHist -lGraf -lGraf3d -lGpad -lTree -lRint -lPostscript -lMatrix -lPhysics -lMathCore -lThread -lpthread -stdlib=libc++ -lm -ldl
MacBookPro ~ > root-config5 --incdir
/opt/local/libexec/root5/include/root

PyROOT is available if you install with one of the (non default in root5) python variants. See

 > port variants root5

for details.
