Advice on Compiling a Plugin

I created an After Effects Plugin that depends on Cairo (dynamically linked), OpenCV (dynamically linked), and a dataset of images that is used by an OpenCV machine learning algorithm implemented in the plugin. I am unsure  of how to compile this plugin with all of its dependencies, especially the images, into a single .aex file that can be used on other systems. I'd appreciate your advice on this!

if the components are dynamically linked then it can't end up all in one .aex file.

you'll need to deploy the other components along with your plugin. that's common practice and you setup your installer to put everything in the right place.
