C-Lightning update 0.6 doc

You should be able to just stop the old version, download the new binaries, unpack them, and run them. On the first start lightningd will take care of updating the database if necessary and

Alternatively you can also compile the binaries yourself, like you did before the release:

git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git /opt/lightning
cd /opt/lightning
./configure --disable-developer --disable-valgrind
make 
sudo make install

Afterwards lightningd and lightning-cli will be in your $PATH and available from everywhere.

thanks for the answer! I would like to keep my existing data/config. Will I keep them following the steps you wrote above? – ZsZolee – 2018-07-02T20:30:57.933

Yes, the database is migrated to the new version automatically, and you should not have to change anything. The one exception may be if you have --addr in the commandline or addr in the config, that option got split into bind-addr and announce-addr. – cdecker – 2018-07-03T15:03:53.603

thank you! however a problem has occurred when making the source: gossipd/gossip.c: In function ‘find_local_update’: gossipd/gossip.c:1702:7: error: implicit declaration of function ‘structeq’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (structeq(scid, &i->scid)) ^~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors <builtin>: recipe for target 'gossipd/gossip.o' failed make: *** [gossipd/gossip.o] Error 1 what do you think the problem could be? thank you in advance! – ZsZolee – 2018-07-07T17:51:05.367

version: GNU Make 4.1 – ZsZolee – 2018-07-07T17:58:10.750
