define_macros will generate parameters like -D
msvc compilers expect /D and ignore -D

Did you try it? Using -D works fine for me, as it should [1]:

    Options are specified by either a forward slash (/) or 
    a dash (–). If an option takes an argument, the option's 
    description documents whether a space is allowed between 
    the option and the arguments.
