You'll have to install libasan as per your distro and enable it for
Suricata by doing

./configure CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address"

This would make a simple setup with ASAN enabled.

It seems like this issue is about processing an empty pcap so you just
need an empty file to try it out.
touch any.pcap
suricata -c <path of conf> -r any.pcap

But, for future reference, if you want to test with *any* valid pcap,
you can use one from suricata-verify tests. If you want to generate a
pcap on your own (which does not seem to happen very often), you can
do it using Wireshark. You'll have to generate the traffic on your own
for this. For most of the cases though, you'd look for real world
network traffic pcaps from any online sources.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this issue.

No. Please let it be. Someone from the team shall close it once your
PR is merged into master.
