AFAIK, Clion can generate CMakeLists.txt files. Generate one and then, as GIL is header-only, set include directory with Boost location

Although GSoC project will not expect you to master CMake, you will need to become familiar with GIL source tree content. 

So, if you looked at example directory, you'd find number of cpp files with accompanying CMakeLists.txt. 

I'll leave it for you as an exercise to figure out how to take advantage of this ready to use setup.
