How to add a string-valued macro via qmake DEFINES?
<p>I'm trying to add a macro similar to <code>#define CPP_COMPILER_SETTING "g++ -std=c++1z"</code></p>

<p>in the <code>.pro</code> file:</p>

<pre><code>DEFINES += "CPP_COMPILER_SETTING=\\\"g++ \\-std\\=c++1z\\\""
</code></pre>

<p>In the generated Makefile I get:</p>

<pre><code>DEFINES = -DCPP_COMPILER_SETTING=\"g++ \-std\=c++1z\"
</code></pre>

<p>I'm getting this error upon compilation:</p>

<pre><code>g++: error: \-std\=c++1z": No such file or directory
</code></pre>

<p>How should I escape the string so that it makes it from the <code>.pro</code> file to the compiler's input?</p>
