I am now working to compile LibreOffice on Linux Peppermint OS. I used to support Peppermint OS for a few financial insurance auditing clients and wanted to see how easy it was to compile LibreOffice Dev on it and install LibreOffice itself.
 
I did the minimum Peppermint OS to start with via Oracle Virtual Box 6.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/peppermintos/ 
 
 
 
 
Well, with that being said, Firefox is not installed by default nor much of anything else. Do the following:
1) sudo apt update
2) sudo apt install flatpak
3) sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
4) sudo flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.firefox
 
Once the above is complete, restart Peppermint OS and Firefox is now available.

After that, then I am going to go back to the LibreOffice myBLOG post on compiling LibreOffice and work through that and add additional compilation steps if necessary.
 
most of the compilation steps worked, yet need to do the following
~/core$ sudo apt install autotools-dev automake
in order to complete the following:
~core$ ./autogen.sh --with-lang=tl --with-parallelism=$(nproc)
which completed successfully
~core$ autoconf
just to be sure. I did not re-add the with-lang=tl command. curious.
~core$ make 
command issued. pending results
 
took an extra few days figuring out why compilation would lock up and the OS would freeze. Even htop showed nothing other than all cores and max RAM consumed. Therefore, upped the RAM to 8GB from 4GB and to 8 CPU instead of 4 CPU. This third try worked. 
 
~core$ sudo make install
