Pretty much. For development you will want to specify a few options
in the ./configure step. At a minimum I recommend:
--prefix=
--enable-debug
--enable-cassert
--enable-depend
See this page for other options:

Of course, there are those who prefer to use eclipse or some other
IDE. For setting up eclipse, see this page:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Working_with_Eclipse
I see that page is a bit out of date (we've converted from CVS to
git), but perhaps you can extrapolate.
