I don't know how to run on docker image

Hi, I had the same error. From what I searched (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69510029/no-compiler-can-produce-code-for-this-qt-version-apple-silicon) pyqt5 is not supported by M1. Only pyqt6.

So, instead of doing this

pip3 install pyqt5 lxml

do this:

pip3 install pyqt6 lxml

and that error should no longer appear.

However, the error that will appear instead is my next problem: the labelImg code is done to cover only pyqt5. 😔 I created a new issue in https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg/issues/873

You can try branch pyside6, it works for me on MacBook Pro with M1 Max: https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg/tree/pyside6

At the moment a possible solution is to open the terminal using Rosetta:

1. go to the Application folder
2. locate Terminal.app and press "cmd+i"
3. mark "Open using Rosetta"

In this way, you are "using" i386 architecture and everything should work.

Suggestion: in order to have a double choice, duplicate the Terminal.app application.

conda install -c conda-forge labelimg this worked well for me
