You should create a header file containing your definitions of lua_lock
and lua_unlock. See etc/luser_pthread.h for an example. Then #define LUA_USER_H
to be the named of this header file (quoted) and build Lua.

The LUA_USER_H macro is a general mechanism introduced in 4.1 so that users
can build their own customized version of Lua. See etc/luser*.h for other
examples, including building integer-only and wchar versions.
