ADD_DEFINITION sets the definitions for a compiler without target
binding. This means once it is used all subsequent targets and
subdirectories have these definitions
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DEXCLUDE ALL_PINGUINS)
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS is a property which is used frequently with
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES. Here the definitions are set for the target only.
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(_targetname PROPERTIES
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS "HAVE_CONFIG_H;EXCLUDE_ALL_PINGUINS")
No -D, parameters are separated by ";"
ADD_DEFINITIONS- and SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES can be mixed, depending what
you want.
Here is an nice typical example:
SET(_definitions G_LOG_DOMAIN=\"Gtk\"
GTK_LIBDIR=\"${DGTK_LIBDIR}\"
GTK_DATADIR=\"${GTK_DATADIR}\"
GTK_DATA_PREFIX=\"/${GTK_DATA_PREFIX}\"
GTK_SYSCONFDIR=\"${_sysConfDir}\"
GTK_VERSION=\"${PACKAGE_VERSION}\"
GTK_BINARY_VERSION=\"${GTK_BINARY_VERSION}\"
GTK_PRINT_BACKENDS=\"${GTK_PRINT_BACKENDS}\"
GTK_COMPILATION
GTK_FILE_SYSTEM_ENABLE_UNSUPPORTED
GTK_PRINT_BACKEND_ENABLE_UNSUPPORTED)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${_gtkTarget} PROPERTIES
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS "${_definitions}")
CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS is a variable which belongs to the CheckC
command-family, which is important for CTest (Not sure!). See the
documentation there.

This is a contradiction in itself.
