I successfully built Boost in my directory c:\boost_1_77_0. After which, I set up my global variable boost with base c:\boost_1_77_0. For the built-in field lib, I entered c:\boost_1_77_0\stage\lib (see attached screenshot). For the program's build options, under Linker settings/Link libraries: $(#boost.stage.lib) Under Search Directories/Compiler I entered $(#boost) and under Search Directories/Linker I entered $(#boost.stage.lib). When I built a typical Hello World program (see attached screenshot), I get an error message (see attached screenshot). Where did I go wrong? Somebody, please help.

This is probably fine, but it seems likely that the intended usage is that you'd set lib to just "stage\lib" since that's the relative path from the base dir.

This needs to be the specific library names that you want to link, not the path to them. (If you were using MSVC then auto-link would supply these for you, but I don't think the other compilers support this.)
Under Search Directories/Compiler I entered $(#boost) and under Search Directories/Linker I entered $(#boost.stage.lib).
This, on the other hand, presumably needs to be $(#boost.lib), not $(#boost.stage.lib). I don't use that IDE myself so I can't give you more specific help, but the -L#$%&???WTF???&%$# path seems highly suspicious and it's probably putting that in because you're trying to make an invalid variable substitution.
