+COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
+-------------------
+
+Preprocessor definitions for compiling a directory's sources.
+
+The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property may be set to a semicolon-separated
+list of preprocessor definitions using the syntax VAR or VAR=value.
+Function-style definitions are not supported. CMake will
+automatically escape the value correctly for the native build system
+(note that CMake language syntax may require escapes to specify some
+values). This property may be set on a per-configuration basis using
+the name COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> where <CONFIG> is an upper-case
+name (ex. "COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_DEBUG"). This property will be
+initialized in each directory by its value in the directory's parent.
+
+CMake will automatically drop some definitions that are not supported
+by the native build tool. The VS6 IDE does not support definition
+values with spaces (but NMake does).
