"Each CPack generator as a built-in default value for this"
" variable. E.g. Archive generators (ZIP, TGZ, ...) includes"
" the top level whereas RPM or DEB don't. The user may override"
" the default value by setting this variable.\n"

"Boolean toggle to make CPack use DESTDIR mechanism when"
" packaging.", "DESTDIR means DESTination DIRectory."
" It is commonly used by makefile "
"users in order to install software at non-default location. It "
"is a basic relocation mechanism that should not be used on"
" Windows (see CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX documentation). "
"It is usually invoked like this:\n"
" make DESTDIR=/home/john install\n"
"which will install the concerned software using the"
" installation prefix, e.g. \"/usr/local\" prepended with "
"the DESTDIR value which finally gives \"/home/john/usr/local\"."
" When preparing a package, CPack first installs the items to be "
"packaged in a local (to the build tree) directory by using the "
"same DESTDIR mechanism. Nevertheless, if "
"CPACK_SET_DESTDIR is set then CPack will set DESTDIR before"
" doing the local install. The most noticeable difference is"
" that without CPACK_SET_DESTDIR, CPack uses "
"CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX as a prefix whereas with "
"CPACK_SET_DESTDIR set, CPack will use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as"
" a prefix.\n"
"Manually setting CPACK_SET_DESTDIR may help (or simply be"
" necessary) if some install rules uses absolute "
"DESTINATION (see CMake INSTALL command)."
