title: MSBuild C++ - command line - can pass defines?
body: <p>Is there a way to convert something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#define ERROR_LOG_LEVEL 5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Into something that msbuild via command line will pass to its projects?</p>
  
  <pre><code>msbuild.exe {???}ERROR_LOG_LEVEL=5 target
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read the responses to similar questions, and it looks like the answer is <strong>no</strong>, just want to double-check in case some genius has found a workaround.</p>
