The module comes in source form or as compiled binary. Binary is usually available for the Win32 platforms only. The compilation of the source code is simple. Compile the source files to a .dll or to .so shared library. When installing the standard ScriptBasic package the make file creates and installs this module.
The compiled module contains a dynamically load binary file and a basic include file named `hash.bas'. The include file `hash.bas' should be placed in a module include directory file configured in the configuration file. The configuration file usually named `scriba.conf' should include a line
include /etc/scriba/include/
defining the include files location for the modules and other generally used include files. The actual directory can be different.
The binary part of the module should be placed in another directory specified in the configuration file, like
module /usr/scriba/lib/
There can be more than one include and module statement in the configuration file. In that case the interpreter searches the directories in the order they are specified until the include file or the module is found.
