Hi, 

First, you need to make sure you can run

cd libs/gil
../../b2 test

and see GIL tests being build. 
Then, you can run 

cd libs/gil
../../b2  example 

You should be able to achieve that following instructions in

https://github.com/boostorg/gil/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md

Unless you're well experienced with CMake troubleshooting I suggest you to forget trying CMake, Clion, VS until you can successfully build from the command line as explained above. 

Best regards,
