There were such attempts but no projects had been accomplished.

See the octave manual,

http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Standalone-Programs.html#Standalone-Programs

From the paragrph:
"Note that the application standalone will be dynamically linked against the 
Octave libraries and any Octave support libraries. The above allows the Octave 
math libraries to be used by an application. It does not, however, allow the 
script files, oct-files, or builtin functions of Octave to be used by the 
application. To do that the Octave interpreter needs to be initialized first. 
An example of how to do this can then be seen in the code"
