<p>CPack variables (set via e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cpack</span> <span class="pre">-D</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CPackConfig.cmake</span></code> or

installation scripts. Instead, one can pass a list of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">varName=value</span></code>
pairs in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES</span></code> variable. At install time,
each list item will result in a variable of the specified name (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">varName</span></code>)
being set to the given <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">value</span></code>. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">=</span></code> can be omitted for an empty
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">value</span></code>.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES</span></code> allows the packaging installation to be
influenced by the user or driving script at CPack runtime without having to
regenerate the install scripts.</p>
