Are you sure no error was given by make install?  I do not have a max,
but certainly in my machine, using bash, it gives:

folarte@p:~/tmp/lua-5.3.4$ make install
cd src && mkdir -p /usr/local/bin /usr/local/include /usr/local/lib
/usr/local/man/man1 /usr/local/share/lua/5.3 /usr/local/lib/lua/5.3
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/man/man1’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/share/lua’: Permission denied
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/local/lib/lua’: Permission denied
Makefile:61: recipe for target 'install' failed
make: *** [install] Error 1

quite some errors.
