Include library with require.js

I've added an external library spin.js to my project,built by require.js and backbone. I've added path in main.js:

require.config({
paths: {
jquery: 'libs/jquery/jquery-min',
underscore: 'libs/underscore/underscore-min',
backbone: 'libs/backbone/backbone',
templates: '../templates',
Handlebars: 'libs/handlebars/Handlebars',
codebird:'libs/codebird-js-develop/codebird',
oauth:'libs/oauth',
**spin:'libs/spin'**

}

});

require([

'app',

], function(App){


 App.initialize();
});

and called this library in a view,but console tells me that Spinner(function in library) is not defined:

define(["spin"],
function (spin) {}

After defining the paths try add a shim config like:-

shim: {
spin: {
  deps: ['jquery'],
  exports: 'spin'
}
}

I don't know whether spin.js requires jquery or not, it's just an example, but spin.js requires any other libray try to define that in dependency otherwise just define the exports.

Also check whether you're using the amd version of spin.js or not.
