You need XCode and the lldb debugger (provided with the XCode command line
tools as an extra installation after first launch of XCode).

1) From a terminal, start lldb and point to the app to load into the debugging
session :

lldb /Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app

2) wait for it to load until you see something like this :

(lldb) target create "/Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app"
Current executable set to '/Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app' (x86_64).

3) then type

run 

and the application will start. Output will be channelled through the debugging
session in the terminal. You can enter various lldb commands to set
breakpoints, obtain backtraces, follow threads, examine register content, etc.

4) When a crash occurs, try typing, in the debugging session in the terminal:

bt all

and wait for the output to appear on the terminal. This output can be copied to
a text editor and saved for posting here (or zipped, if too big).

5) Type c to continue with the debugging session or q to quit.
