Don't use FreeType internals outside of the library. Look into the
FreeType demo file `src/ftcommon.c' for an example of file handling.

This sounds like the right solution.

Why do you need it? What problem do you want to solve?

Again: It is a macro, only *locally* defined (in `ftsystem.c'). If
you use it in another file, the compiler treats it as an undefined
symbol.
