This is confusing. What is in example1.c?

Also, I don't think you need -llua5.2 -lm -ldl.
You may end up with a copy of the Lua runtime in example2.so.

You may want to have a look at my libraries and their Makefiles:

Look at a simple one like lbase64 or lrandom.
You may need to add -fPIC to CFLAGS and MAKESO.
