CONAN_RUNTIME_LIB_DIRS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This variable defines the directories containing the runtime libraries necessary to
run the linked executables in the project of all host dependencies. These libraries are essential
to ensure that the project compiles and runs correctly, providing the necessary dependencies
during runtime. This is most useful when relying on CMake functionality to collect runtime dependencies,
for example to create a relocatable bundle.
This variable contains a list of directories that contain runtime libraries (like DLLs)
from all dependencies in the host context. This is intended to be used when relying on
CMake functionality to collect shared libraries to create a relocatable bundle, as
per the example below.


Just add the ``CONAN_RUNTIME_LIB_DIRS`` variable in our ``CMakeLists.txt`` file.
Just pass the ``CONAN_RUNTIME_LIB_DIRS`` variable to the ``DIRECTORIES`` argument
in the ``install(RUNTIME_DEPENDENCY_SET ...)``` invocation.
