I can't speak to Mint but I have set up ASAN/UBSAN detection via Dockerfiles
and provide Docker containers you can run 'as is' (ie no building).

That used plain Debian testing; the recipes are on

   https://github.com/eddelbuettel/docker-debian-r

but will morph/move more to 

   https://github.com/eddelbuettel/rocker

which is a repo Carl Boettiger (CC'ed) and I are working on.

I hope to update some files this weekend; right now only two of the rocker
'recipes' (ie Dockerfiles) are up-to-date.  You can get the images via

   https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/eddelbuettel/

A working demonstration was at the end of my useR! keynote, and I alluded to
that again yesterday in a talk to the Docker Chicago Meetup.

Now, I can't from the top of my head see what you did wrong. Besides not using
Debian (ie I have no idea what is different at Mint, maybe nothing).  

With a bit of luck I may get to updating the ASAN/UBSAN image in the next few
days and few can compare notes then.

Hth, Dirk



| testing to my apt sources and ran :
| 
|     sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9, g++-4.9 gfortran-4.9
| 
| in the root of a clean Rtrunk.  I then started simple with just ASAN 
| first of all :
| 
| ./configure CC="gcc-4.9 -std=gnu99 -fsanitize=address" 
| CFLAGS="-fno-omit-frame-pointer -O0 -g -Wall -pedantic -mtune=native" 
| --without-recommended-packages --enable-strict-barrier 
| --disable-byte-compiled-packages
| 
| This runs for a while and then returns the following error :
| 
| checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... unknown
| configure: error: in `/home/mdowle/R/Rtrunk':
| configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails
| See `config.log' for more details
| 
| Looking in config.log there are a lot of errors but I believe that's the 
| way it works as it tests what is available on the system.  If I change 
| "gcc-4.9" to "gcc" (which is 4.8.2 on my system), then it works fine 
| (but then I won't be able to do UBSAN with gcc).
| 
| Looking at the last error in config.log,  it seems to be this :

| Thanks!
