Boost.Spirit is headers-only library, so there is no binary library supplied.

It might be not obvious from the manual [1], but COMPONENTS is dedicated
to request lookup for the Boost libraries which are built as binary components.

For the Spirit, you just need to check if you have Boost headers available:

find_package(Boost 1.49 REQUIRED)
