How to include a jar file in kotlin script - kotlin

Question

I want to separate some generic code from my kotlin script file so that it can be reused.
I did this:
// MyLib.kt
package myLib
fun say_hello(name : String)
{
println("hello $name")
}
I compiled this file to create a jar file:
kotlinc myLib.kt -include-runtime -d myLib.jar
Then I created a script file:
// myScript.kts
import myLib.*
say_hello("Arvind")
But i can not compile the script file as it neither recognizes myLib package nor say_hello() function.
What is the correct way to do this.
Question Update:
I am using kscript to run my script. Typing a lot e.g.,
kotlin -cp myLib.jar myScript.kts
every time I have to run the script, thus defeats the motive of using kscript.
Is not there any way so that I need not give path of jar every time command line. Instead I want to use it in a kscript way, i.e.
./myScript

You need to include the myLib.jar in the classpath, for example:
kotlin -cp myLib.jar myScript.kts
Also, you do not need to compile myLib with -include-runtime, unless you want to create a self-contained and runnable jar (see example).
Update:
Rename myScript.kts to myScript.main.kts and change its content to:
#!/usr/bin/env kotlin
#file:DependsOn("myLib.jar")
import myLib.*
say_hello("Arvind")
You now can call it (don't forget to set execute permissions):
./myScript.main.kts
If instead of the myLib.jar file you want to include the myLib.kt script replace #file:DependsOn("myLib.jar") by #file:Import("myLib.kt").
