Already done:
http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Development:QuickStart
However, it turned out, the adonthell-documentation I found in the wiki

Well, this is something I have not done yet. The issue with the
superuser is forced to install the software is still open. I am not sure
wether I could solve it with a shell script. For the sake of lazyness I
let it be for the moment.

I tried test/worldtest -g ../adonthell/test/
but got only a black screen, is the software still broken?
