Defines: (-D)

Include multiple defines after a single -D option by separating each define with a semicolon (;). For example: DCC32.EXE -Dxxx;yyy;zzz MYFILE.PAS
You can also include multiple -D options, separating each with a space. For example: DCC32.EXE -Dxxx -Dyyy -Dzzz MYFILE.PAS
Click [...] to display a Defines symbol dialog to manage a list of defines. Check the Merge box to act as if the immediate ancestor's defines are merged into this list, though this list is not actually changed.
